A versatile training, hiking, biking, walking, Nordic skiing pant, not surprisingly called the Swix Men’s Universal X Training Pants. These have wind and water resistance in the front microfiber panels backed by stretch sections on the back of the legs, thighs, and knees, for a training pant that flexes, breathes, and gives you protection going into the wind. Cut with a regular fit and tapered legs these have a smooth style while having enough room to comfortably fit over a layer. Throw these in your gear bag for when you discover your training tights aren’t going to give you the protection you need, with full side zips they’re easy on, even when you’re already buckled into your boots. A micromesh lining helps manage moisture to keep your skin dry during a workout, while the snaps at the waistline means you can further vent these by tugging down the side zips if necessary. An all-around useful piece of training wear that belongs in every outdoor enthusiast’s wardrobe it is just the right layer when the temperature dips to keep you comfortable while you’re in motion. With room to put a baselayer under it, yet trim enough to fit under a shell, this gives your wardrobe terrific range so you’re ready to embrace everything winter has to offer.
