For experience-hungry skiers whose bread and butter is lift-accessed terrain but who venture out for some untracked snacking. Not as fully pared-back as alpine-style pants, these have a more modern flowy shape and a nod to resort skier style. They have all the technical features you expect from backcountry shells, but the casual cut might take up a little more room if you stuff them in a pack.
- Fabric is 3-layer GORE-TEX® that's supple, lightweight and provides waterproof-breathable protection. Nylon inner lining
- Cut to slide over inner warm layers, the fit is not super technical like alpine shell pants, but provides room to twist and move freely
- Zippered back pockets secure little items. Front pockets and cargo pockets add storage options
- Built-in Recco® Rescue System reflector allows ski patrol and mountain rescue teams to detect and locate Recco reflectors under snow. Useful for resort skiing, Recco technology is not a substitute for avalanche skills training, beacons, essential gear, or smart decision-making in the backcountry
- Inner zippered vents extend the full-length of the thighs and allow heat to escape
- Schoeller® kick patches at the ankle add durability and stand up to scuffing
- Zippers at the ankle with internal snow gaiters hug your boots and keep out snow
- Loops attach the pants to the MEC Bricole Jacket or MEC Backbeyond Jacket
