No stiff spots, no intentionally added PFAS in the Cottonwoods Xpore Shell Pant
The Cottonwoods Xpore Shell Pant runs on a 2-layer Xpore construction and takes a full season of hard use without falling apart. Its membrane is fully seam sealed, solvent-free, and carries no intentionally added PFAS, keeping it waterproof and breathable from resort laps to backcountry approaches. A recycled polyester face fabric and taffeta lining carry that same durability from waist to boot cuff.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I've kicked through crusty, icy edges all day and the Kevlar kick panels never turned into a stiff spot that fights my stride. The reinforcement sits exactly where my boots hit hardest, and the hem still moves like the rest of the pant."

Inside The Cottonwoods
Jacket

Shell Construction
2-layer face fabric with a liner feels noticeably softer, without losing its abrasion resistance.

Backpack Strap Tunnel
Integrated tunnel threads your pack's waist strap behind the hand pockets, keeping straps secure and pockets usable.

Drop Hood with Roll-Up Clip
Bilateral clips drop the hood away from the standalone collar, then a rear cinch holds it rolled up and out of the way.

Grid Tricot Collar
Grid tricot fabric channels moisture from your breath so the collar doesn't sit clammy against your neck.

Mesh-Lined Vents
Angled openings vent heat while mesh lining keeps snow out.

Low-Profile Powder Skirt
Stretch powder skirt provides protection when you need it, undetectable when you don't.

Goggle Wipe & Lens Storage
Removable goggle wipe and dedicated lens sleeve keep your optics accessible and protected.

Purpose-Built Pockets
Phone sleeve, key clip, and pass pocket keep essentials secure and within reach.

Front Snap Closure
A center snap secures the jacket on the way to and from the lifts, no zipping required.
Pants

Built-In Belt
Integrated belt adjusts fit quickly and comfortably with no extra hardware to pack.

Revamped Kick Panels
Kevlar® kick panels feel less stiff without sacrificing edge protection, and snap-adjustable gussets fit any boot.

Mesh-Lined Thigh Vents
Vents release heat while mesh lining blocks snow, even on storm days.

Purpose-Built Pockets
Dedicated pockets hold your phone and keys, while bellowed thigh pockets stay accessible sitting or standing.

Articulated Seams
Knee and hip seams curve for a flexed ski stance, so the fabric moves with you, not against you.

Built-In RECCO® Reflector
A sewn-in RECCO® reflector adds extra peace of mind.
