"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""Shell pants at this price point with critically taped seams and infiDRY 10K waterproofing are genuinely hard to find. The 500D reinforced hem is the kind of detail that matters after a few seasons of boot contact, and the Air-Flo inner leg vents actually move air when you need them to. The integrated webbing belt keeps the fit dialed without adding bulk. Pair it with the Sublime Anorak and the Pant Jacket Connect system does its job on powder days when you can't afford any gaps.""The bottom half of your kit takes more abuse than anything else on the mountain. Knee drops, boot drag, lift chairs, wet snow, this shell pant has to be ready for all of it before the first run is done. The 686 Sublime Shell Pant starts with a 10K infiDRY shell built from 100% recycled polyester and finishes with critically taped Bemis seams that keep moisture out at every stitch line. The 500D nylon inner facing at the hem is there for the long haul, reinforcing the area that takes the most contact with boots and edges. Air-Flo inner leg vents open up on warm spring days or sustained boot-packs, and the integrated adjustable webbing belt keeps everything sitting where it should without a separate layer underneath. The Pant Jacket Connect system links up with the Sublime Anorak when the snow is deep enough to make it matter."
