Men's Ski & Snowboard Pants
The search for the perfect pair of men’s ski pants (or snowboard pants) can be trying. But if you’re planning to hit the slopes this winter, you’re going to want to put the time in to research which outdoor clothing is best for you. The last thing you want to be left with are snow pants that aren’t properly waterproof or a toque that doesn't keep your head warm.
While uninsulated pants can be adapted to meet many different weather conditions with layering, they’re not ideal for super cold environments. Insulated pants will be best suited to most skiing conditions. Softshell pants are highly breathable ...and great for milder weather where you don’t have to worry about moisture.
You’re also going to want to make sure that your ski pants can keep you dry. There is nothing worse than getting soaking wet halfway through a ski outing. That’s one way to find yourself sequestered in the chalet all day. Not the worst way to pass your time, but also not what you signed up for!
Lastly, we can’t pretend like style isn’t an important factor in choosing the right ski gear. If we don’t love the items that we buy for outdoor activities, we’re not going to look forward to using them. The great news is that many of your favourite bands make very stylish ski/snowboard pants. These include the likes of The North Face, Mountain Hardwear, and Columbia.
