Daily skiing in wet, maritime climates
A waterproof, breathable shell pant for skiers who ride every day in damp conditions, like the East Coast or Pacific Northwest, where a reviewer describes it as a workhorse daily driver. The 3-layer hard shell has a very high 20,000 mm waterproof rating, waterproof seams and zippers, and a PFC-free water-repellent finish. Note that PFC-free treatments generally need more frequent washing and reapplication than older chemistry to keep performing.[1,2,3]
A do-everything pant for park laps and full-mountain days
This shell pant suits skiers who session the park and then take their tricks around the rest of the mountain, with a reviewer calling it a great fit for resort skiers who mix in park laps in the same day. The baggy-but-true-to-size cut has built-in stretch and articulated knees, and reviewers praised its range of motion over most other pants in the test. An adjustable waist with a built-in strap belt helps it sit comfortably without excessive cinching.[1,2]
Easy boot changes at the ankle
For days when you are pulling boots on and off, these Armada shell pants have zipped ankles meant to make slipping them over footwear easier. The elasticized cinched cuffs with side zippers are designed to work over the top of lace-up boots.[2,4]
Hiking and spring riding with quick ventilation
When you're skinning or hiking up on a warm spring day, the Chromatic 3-Ply Shell Pant's zipped crotch vents can help you dump heat, with ventilation the merchant describes as its purpose. One reviewer reported the venting is quick, easy, and effective, calling it a welcome feature for hiking and spring riding.[1,2]
Loose-fit shell pant for layering
Armada's Chromatic 3-ply shell pant is non-insulated with a loose fit that the retailer describes as perfect for layering. That makes it an option to pull on over base layers or other clothing when you want an outer shell rather than built-in warmth.[2]
Keeping gear within easy reach on the hill
With zippered hand pockets plus an angled zippered thigh pocket, these shell pants offer secure storage while skiing or riding. A reviewer notes the well-placed pocket space makes it easy to grab a phone, snacks, or a lighter without digging through a pack.[1,2,4]
