Why We Like The Skyward II Pant
When it's our turn to set the skinner and we can feel our body temperature spiking, we’re stoked to have the Skyward II Pant thanks to its breathable, waterproof design. The AscentShell 3L membrane keeps moisture from fresh powder out, while allowing moisture from inside of the pants to easily escape. The 420D scuff guards and wind-resistant fabric make these bomber pants an excellent choice for hot laps at the resort as well.

Zippers get stuck on inner fabric

Like on older sleeping bags, when zippers could catch on nearby fabric and get totally jammed unable to move up or down, same thing happens on the upper pocket zippers on these pants. I see other reviews have noted similar, also verified with a friend who is sending his back for this same problem. Could be an issue with a particular production run, it has to do with the alignment of the fabric used for reinforcement of the zipper that is so wide that it pushes the pocket material toward the zipper track. Never have 2 hands free to get zipper unstuck when in the wild which is frustrating when you don't want to move items to other pockets. I have tried re-creasing the zipper reinforcement fabric to no avail, for now just using the lower pockets which don't seem to have the same issue. Should not happen on a premium OR product that supposedly was field tested. Certainly hope it's covered under warranty, am going to give it a few more trips to see if as the fabric softens the problem resolves.

Comfortable But Has Durability Issues

Thought they were amazing until they started to fall apart. One of the thigh pockets (the one I use) failed as well as the crotch which developed a hole pretty quickly. Love the fit, flexibility, breathability, and [reasonable] water resistance, but expect that a pair of technical pants with this price tag should hold up a little better.

Great pants, zipper issues
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Overall, these are great pants. I tried the various pants of this style at the backcountry store and landed on this one, which is between the super flexible pant and bombproof inflexible version. I’ve used them for skiing, backcountry/skinning, and ice climbing. They’re great for each of those applications in terms of flexibility and protection. Pockets and vents well placed. A problem is the zippers catch often. Especially the standard pant pockets. I swapped out one, and experience the same on the replacement. It’s a pain when wearing gloves and you need something.
