Ski pants are a big part of making your day on the slopes comfortable. Ski pants protect your lower legs from snow and ski edges, and keep you dry. You need to pick the right pair. There are many options.
Patagonia's PowSlayer is a great pair hardshell ski trousers. It features waterproof zippers, taped seams, elastic boot gauntlets, and a waterproof zipper. It also comes with a DWR coating. It does have some limitations. The leg cuffs are not adjustable and the bag is too bulky. The hip pocket is too small and cannot hold anything.
The Arc'teryx Beta AR hardshell pant is highly regarded and a favorite among alpinists. It is made with lightweight and tough Gore-Tex Pro fabric. The fabric is strong and lightweight, making it an excellent addition to your skiing wardrobe. You'll find a large reinforced thigh zip with reinforced instep and a single zippered pockets.
The Outdoor Research Trailbreaker II is a good choice for backcountry skiing. It has a technical design and a breathable outer shell. This pant is ideal for touring in mid-winter conditions.
Another great choice is REI Powderbound. This pair can withstand both cold and heat. Although it is quite affordable, it does come with synthetic insulation. This makes it a great purchase for everyday usage.
The Arc'teryx Beta AR doesn't have the most technical features, but there are still some things that make it worth looking at. A built-in RECCO (Research Corporation of Canada), avalanche safety "reflector" is one such feature. Designed to help skiers find their way in the event of an avalanche, the RECCO reflector is a passive unit that's carried by resort search and rescue.
The Freedom Insulated has no belt. With a good fit, stretchy fabric, and a decent range of motion, this pant is a nice choice.
A bib can provide more comfort. Outdoor Research Carbide, a weather-resistant bib, is comfortable and articulated. It also comes at a reasonable price. It has three pockets, a sturdy zipper, and a scuff protector, which is a departure from other bibs. The most popular feature among testers was the longer inner cuffs.
The PowSlayer is a pair of solid hardshell ski pants that are waterproof, but not as much as a hardshell. It has enough features to make your day easy with a waterproof zipper and taped seams. However, it is not the best choice.
Your skiing experience will be memorable if you have the right fit and feel. Choosing the right pair of ski pants is a matter of style, function, and budget. If you make the right choice, you will have fun. Be sure to purchase warm, waterproof long underwear. A good base layer is essential to keep you dry and warm in case of emergency.
