Backcountry Hayden GORE-TEX INFINIUM Pant - Women's
Why We Built The Hayden Gore-Tex Infinium Pant
When we're spending the majority of our day on skis, navigating switchbacks on the skin track or making our way to the next hut on our multi-day trip, we bring our Hayden Pants along for the ride. We made these high-performing lightweight ski pants with touring in mind, using a super-stretchy Gore-Tex Infinium construction. This recent addition to the Gore family uses a windproof membrane to keep us protected in any high-exposure spot we might find ourselves, and what the fabric gives up in terms of waterproof shelter it more than makes up for when it comes to breathable function. We're working hard for those turns, but the Hayden Pant is there to keep us light on our skis and dry from the inside out, no matter how hard we push ourselves in the Backcountry.

Ripped After 2 Uses :(
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:
- Runs small
- Size Bought
- M
- Height

I was super disappointed with these. I bought them to use for my AIARE course (minimal touring), and they ripped in several places along my ski boots after two light days of use. They were stretchy and comfortable when I first put them on, but proved to be very non-functional out in the field. I typically get Patagonia ski pants and have never had this issue with the ripping along my boots. In terms of fit, I'm 5'2'' and 155lbs, and the M was quite long on me. The zipper also kept undoing while I was touring and the thighs were tight, but the waist was very loose. You won't be able to use the pockets for a beacon or phone if you have larger thighs. Definitely not designed for curvier ladies. I've been trying to get in contact with the warranty department for two months now about the quality issue and have had no success or resolution (left hanging after the first email). This was my first time trying to contact Backcountry's warranty department and has definitely fallen short compared to REI or Evo. Stick with your tried and true brands!

Perfect ski pants. Did a great job keeping me warm and dry. Easy to move in. Love the adjustable Velcro tabs at the waist.

Great for Endurance-y Winter Activities

I use these for alpine touring, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. They fit perfectly for my height/weight. The fabric is stretchy, doesn't restrict movement, and doesn't ride up or fall down (the adjustable velcro tabs on the waist help with this). I've taken them out in both cold (-10F) and "warm" (30F) excursions and I've always been comfortable just by adjusting what I wear for a baselayer. The GoreTex is bomb, obviously. Only complaint is that the suspenders are way too short for my torso length so I can't use them. I ended up just taking off the suspenders and haven't had a problem.

Great except for the side zipper
- Familiarity:

These pants are great! I got them in green, the fit is perfect, and I like that it has enough room in the butt area and is slightly high waisted, which makes it very comfortable and not restricting my movement at all. The material is also functioning and soft enough to not make horrible sounds when moving. My only minor complaint is that the side zipper goes all the way to the waist, and is kinda stiff so when you bend your knees, the zipper line will turn to a weird direction and it has caught my skis twice. Maybe I’m being too picky, but something too consider when designing the next ski pants, maybe? Great job, backcountry, this is nevertheless one of the most comfy pants out there for women!

Perfect Pants

This pants were the best purchase they are going to last me a few seasons at least. I love how adjustable they are, i was able to let my sister borrow them and we are two different sizes and they fit her perfectly as well. These are really good for those slushi snow days where the snow is wet but its also freezing so you get ice layers on your clothes but these pants keep dry the whole time. I would recommend these to any skiier. Also love the suspenders!

I absolutely love this fit especially with the stretch material! Not my first pair of GoreTex pants and I finally found a cute fit for womens! I love the removable suspenders and are super easy to zip off one side to go to the bathroom. Got the color Sable and absolutely love in person.

The material!

I love everything about these pants but my favorite thing is the material. It feels incredibly durable and just enough stretch. I’m 5’1 and a bit curvy in the thighs, so pants can sometimes be hard to find a good fit, but these are great. I got a small in silver pine (obsessed with the color too). I’ve worn them touring and loved them so much I wanted to wear them at the resort. Now I want the bibs!

I love these and how easy they are to get on and off, keep me perfectly warm with only one layer on under these. I can't wait to wear these on all these all winter! *Update* Wore these out snowboarding and they did such a perfect job!

Picked these up for my lady and this is what she had to say. “The waist pant fits quite comfortably and was also true to size. The material appears to be tear resistant and the snap buttons on the legs will be very convenient for boot removal.”

I really want to love these
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Fit:
- Runs small
- Size Bought
- XL
- Height

I absolutely love the material and feel of these pants and was really stoked to get my hands on a pair. I love the grey color because it shakes up my normal go-to of black for ski bibs/pants. The color is soft enough that I won't feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, but it's still neutral enough to wear with all of the different colored jackets that are possible to buy. I looked at the size chart, and debated between a couple sizes and I'm a little perplexed by the fit. I'm 5'7" and have an athletic build carrying most of my weight in my hips and thighs. I've always, ALWAYS had trouble with pants because one size that fits my waist won't go over my hips. I debated between purchasing the large or extra large (for reference I wear a size 10 in most brands for pants) and I'm glad I went with the XL, but still perplexed by the fact that they fit tight and there's barely any room to wear a base layer under (which is something needed since these pants are just a shell!) There's about a 3 inch gap of fabric between my waist and the pants, but they're skin tight on my thighs and booty. I'm still debating keeping them, but I fear I may have to return them without putting them to a true snow test.

Hey Clay, Sorry about the delay. Yes this has side zippers. They are designed to be venting zippers, along with helping the user to take them on and off.
