Do they look odd? Yes they do. Are they amazing? Yes they are. The Scott Insuloft Light PL Men's Short is exactly what it looks like, a puffy pair of shorts made with Airtastic® fabric with DRYOzone FC free DWR panels in the front and back and DURObreeze stretch on the inner and outer thights for movement and breathability where you need it. PrimaLoft® insulation in quilted panels creates this insulated midlayer for your middle and thighs, the layer you had no idea you needed, but once you have? They’ll have to pry it from you, because you’re not letting go of this. For the man who prefers the flexibility of a shell for its weight and features but suffers on those days when he’s riding on lifts and wishes there were some solution0 congratulations, you’ve been heard. Adding ever thicker long underwear, trying to pack it around your boot cuffs without cutting off your circulation, this is not a solution. An insulated pair of shorts provides the insulated layer you’re looking for between you and that frozen seat. And if you’re a cross country skier these are an amazing addition to your kit. An insulator you can pull on at the end of the day to make the ride home comfortable, a layer that pulls on when you’re taking a break on the trail. Where have these things been all your life? The piece you didn’t know you wanted.. but really have to have.
