What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “These pants are a resort essential—waterproof, durable, and warm enough for the coldest lift rides. The fit is super comfortable, and the vents help when I’m hiking or riding hard. They’re the definition of dependable.” When the snow is dumping and the lifts are spinning, The North Face Freedom Insulated Pant keeps us chasing powder without feeling the chill. The waterproof DryVent 2-layer shell blocks out snow and slush while letting moisture escape, keeping us dry through long chairlift rides and deep turns. Lightweight Heatseeker Eco insulation traps warmth without adding bulk, and the articulated knees move naturally as we carve down steep lines. When things heat up, inner thigh vents and the Chimney Venting system release excess heat. StretchVent gaiters keep snow out of boots, and reinforced kickpatches protect against sharp ski edges. From first tracks to après, these pants are built to handle storm days in comfort and style.
