The 686 Hydra Thermagraph Men's Pant is a fully waterproof ski pant with insulation placed where your legs get cold. Targeted warmth, taped seams and inner leg vents add up to a pant that stays comfortable on frigid lift rides without overheating when you're working hard.

Why we like it:

The Thermagraph lining puts warmth in the zones that chill first and keeps hot spots lighter, so the pant feels warm without feeling like a sleeping bag.

Features and Functions:

Storage starts with a thigh cargo pocket behind a waterproof zipper, plus zippered hand pockets with a key clip. Warmth comes from the Thermagraph lining, which body-maps infiLOFT synthetic insulation, made largely from recycled fibers, to the areas that need it most. The shell is a two-layer infiDRY fabric with fully taped Bemis seams. Air-Flo inner leg vents let you cool off fast, and boot gaiters with a stretch panel and lace hook fit snugly over your boots. Reinforced kick panels and a reinforced back hem guard against edge cuts, and the pant clips to a compatible 686 jacket with Pant Jacket Connect.

Fit and Sizing:

Cut to a regular fit that layers over thermals, and an external waist adjustment lets you fine-tune it at the hips.

Bottom Line:

Ideal for skiers who run cold or ski in frigid conditions and want more warmth than a shell pant without heavy, all-over insulation.
