Perfect Ski Touring Pants

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #240 - Men's Softshell Pants December 14, 2009

if you are someone who skins up and skis down these are the best softshell pants i've ever had. they breath on the way up. are thick and warm enough for just hanging out and having lunch with a puffy on. with the exception of the gnarliest conditions they provide enough wind and cold protection. the thigh pockets are my favorite. fold over pockets with just an inch of velcro. i can get food out of them without taking my gloves off. they fit well. they have just enough inner cuff protection from your ski edge and they are super durable.

in 2 seasons of skiing in these pants there has only be maybe 2 days i wished i had worn gortex. if it's super windy then more pant might be applicable. but for most days of skinning up and skiing down these are the perfect ski pants.
