Stretch waterproof fabric and a light layer of synthetic insulation make the Karbon Oros Men's Insulated Ski Pant a warm, mobile pick for resort days. Fully sealed seams hold out wet snow, and long side zips open up when you start to overheat, so your legs stay comfortable whether it's frigid on the lift or mild on a spring afternoon.

Why we like it:

The two-way three-quarter side zips are an unusual feature on an insulated resort pant, and they let you dump a lot of heat without dropping a layer.

Features and Functions:

Two-way side zips run three-quarters of the leg, venting from the top or bottom depending on what you need. The face fabric is Quadra Stretch, a four-way stretch fabric bonded to Karbon's Karbonite waterproof laminate, with all seams taped and sealed. A thin layer of Thermore Invisiloft synthetic insulation takes the edge off cold lifts without puffing up the leg. The zippered fly closes with a snap and hook-and-loop tab, a waist adjustment system with belt loops dials in the fit, and a reinforced crotch holds up to heavy wear.

Fit and Sizing:

Articulated stretch fit with a trim, athletic line and an adjustable waist.

Bottom Line:

A good fit for strong resort skiers who want a warm pant that still moves and vents like a shell.
