What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I reach for the Alpha Lifaloft Pant on frigid storm cycles. Helly Tech Pro keeps slush out, the LifaLoft insulation stays light and warm on the chair, and the 4-way stretch moves cleanly through bumps. Outer-thigh vents dump heat on traverses, and the low-bulk gaiters seal around boots. They run small—size up for a comfy fit with baselayers."We pull on the Helly Hansen Alpha Lifaloft Pant when the forecast reads single digits and steady flakes. Helly Tech Professional waterproofing blocks chairlift spray and windblown snow, while LifaLoft by PrimaLoft adds low-bulk warmth that won’t weigh down our turns. The Alpha Lifaloft Pant’s four-way stretch fabric and articulated cut keep our stance athletic from steep trees to wind-buffed groomers. When the bootpack heats up, outer-thigh vents let excess warmth escape. Snow-sealing details—stretch gaiters with silicone grippers and reinforced hems—keep the elements where they belong. Integrated RECCO adds searchable tech for resort days, and zip hand pockets stash cold-day essentials.
