Arc'teryx Alpha SV Bib - Women's
A Note to Carolyn D
By paulba
Ranked #855 - Women's Ski Pants
September 30, 2008
Carolyn - these are not ski-specific pants--they are mountaineering/climbing pants. Arcteryx does make a few lines of ski pants.
They did not omit internal gaiters in order to cut costs. Rather, they have no internal gaiter because its intended users, who opt for external gaiters in all their pursuits, have been known to actually cut out an internal gaiters from their ski pants. This is because internal gaiters add unnecessary weight (and especially bulk in an already bulky area), so they just get in the way.
To conclude, these pants are intended only for users who are already planning to use real gaiters.
