Volcom

Freakin Snow Chino - Men's

V-Science 2-Layer fabric is a specialized material developed by Volcom that consists of two layers: a durable outer layer for water resistance and an inner layer for breathability. This combination keeps you dry from external moisture while allowing sweat to escape, making it ideal for activities like skiing and snowboarding. You'll stay comfortable and dry, even in challenging weather conditions.

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent treatment, is a special coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. This means that your pants will remain dry and lightweight in wet conditions, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor activities without worrying about getting soaked.

Critical sealed seams are areas in waterproof clothing where two pieces of fabric are stitched together, which are most susceptible to water leakage. By sealing these seams with tape or other methods, the pants become more effective at keeping water out. This feature is crucial for maintaining the overall waterproof performance of your gear, especially in wet and snowy environments.

Boot gaiters are protective flaps at the bottom of the pants that fit over your ski or snowboard boots. They prevent snow and moisture from entering your pants, providing extra protection against the elements. This means you can focus on your performance without worrying about snow getting inside your gear.

Mesh-lined inner leg vents are zippered openings in the pants that allow for increased airflow. When you start to feel too warm during physical activities like skiing or snowboarding, you can unzip these vents to let excess heat escape. This feature helps regulate your body temperature, keeping you comfortable throughout your adventure.

Absolutely! While these pants are designed with winter sports in mind, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking, snowshoeing, or even casual wear in wet conditions. Their versatility ensures you get great use out of them, no matter the activity.
