Insulated panels in a stretchy fleece make the Flylow Puffer Men's 3/4 Pant a clever warming layer for cold days. Cut three-quarter length to hit just above the ski boot, it adds targeted warmth where you feel the chill without the bulk of a full insulated pant. It is the cozy base layer that keeps your legs happy on frigid mornings.

Why we like it:

The strategically placed insulated panels are the smart part; they add warmth across the front and back upper thigh, exactly where cold sets in, while the rest stays breathable grid fleece. The three-quarter length keeps things tidy inside a ski boot.

Features and Functions:

The Puffer 3/4 pairs a 90 percent polyester, 10 percent elastane grid fleece with a Pertex Quantum face and 40 gram PrimaLoft Black ECO insulation in the upper thigh panels. A stretch waistband with a drawstring and hand pockets round out a warm, low-bulk layering bottom.

Fit and Sizing:

A next-to-skin fit layers invisibly under ski pants with a stretchy, comfortable feel. True to size, cut to sit close without binding.

Bottom Line:

As a warming layer under a shell pant, the Puffer 3/4 is best at adding targeted heat on cold ski days. A smart base layer for skiers who run cold from the waist down.
