What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I like these pants for riders who want serious weather protection without insulation. The 30K membrane blocks everything on storm days, and the vents dump heat fast when you’re hiking or lapping the park. They’re tough, dry, and built for long days." We pull on the Squadron Pant when conditions are unpredictable and the plan is to ride no matter what. Designed by DC with durability and protection at the forefront, these shell pants are built for storm days, high-output laps, and season-long abuse inbounds. The Weather Defense 30K membrane delivers top-tier waterproofing and breathability, keeping us dry through heavy snowfall while still managing moisture on active runs. Fully taped seams and welded taping seal out the elements, while articulated legs keep movement natural from first drop to last chair. Mesh-lined vents, durable boot gaiters, and a hem lift system round out a pant that’s ready for everything from park laps to deep winter storms.
