Guide Review - Mountain Hardware's Ski/Snowboard Insulated Stretch Piste Pants Are Wonderful
During the many years I've been skiing, I've never worn a more comfortable pair of ski pants.
The low-rise front and high-rise back means no waistband cutting off your circulation and making it tough to reach down to adjust your ski boots or snowboard boots.
I wore these pants in a variety of snow conditions and discovered they are equally comfortable in two-feet of powder or when there's slush at the bottom of the slopes on warm days. Falling snow didn't penetrate while skiing, or soak in while sitting on the lifts. Pulling the powder cuffs over the top of my boots kept my feet dry when soft snow or powder piled up against the pants during a run.
