Insulated Snow Pant - Men's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to the fabric of ski pants that makes them water-resistant. This means that water beads up and rolls off the surface instead of soaking in. It’s crucial for keeping you dry during wet conditions, enhancing your comfort and performance on the slopes.

The breathability rating measures how well the fabric allows moisture, like sweat, to escape while keeping water out. It’s measured in grams per square meter (g/m²). A higher rating means better breathability, which is essential for staying comfortable during physical activities like skiing or snowboarding, as it helps prevent overheating and moisture buildup.

Fully sealed seams are a construction technique where the seams of the garment are sealed with waterproof tape or coating. This prevents water from leaking through the stitched areas, ensuring that your ski pants remain waterproof even in heavy snow or rain, which is vital for maintaining warmth and dryness.

Gaiters are protective coverings worn over the lower legs, designed to keep snow and moisture from entering your ski pants and boots. They typically feature elastic or adjustable components for a snug fit. By preventing snow from getting inside, gaiters help maintain warmth and comfort while skiing.

The insulation in these ski pants is made of 100% polyester, designed to trap heat and keep you warm even when wet. This is particularly important for skiing or snowboarding in cold weather, as it helps maintain your body temperature and comfort throughout your activities.

When choosing ski pants, consider the combination of DWR coating, breathability rating, insulation type, and features like fully sealed seams and gaiters. These elements work together to provide protection against moisture, warmth, and comfort, making them suitable for various weather conditions on the slopes. Always check the specifications to ensure they meet your specific needs for skiing or snowboarding.
