"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I like these pants for days when I want reliable waterproofing without a lot of extra bulk. They’re easy to pull on, seal out snow well, and the relaxed fit gives me plenty of room to move. I’ve ridden them in everything from cold smoke to spring slush, and they stay comfortable and dry all day."" For storm days that call for simplicity and performance, we pull on the Build Up Pant and head straight for the lift. Designed by The North Face with a clean, no-frills approach, this shell pant keeps us focused on riding instead of fussing with layers or excess features. It’s built for consistent resort laps when conditions change by the hour. A waterproof, breathable membrane and fully sealed seams block fresh flakes and wet spring snow, while recycled materials keep the build lighter and quicker to dry. The elastic waist with a drawcord delivers a secure, comfortable fit, and articulated knees let us move freely through turns and drops. Stretch hems with snap gussets seal neatly over boots, keeping snow out so we can stay locked in from first chair to last run."
