What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I went on a four-day trip to Tahoe last year and wore the Cottonwoods Xpore Pant every single day. Whether I was skiing steep chutes off of Granite Chief, cruising down Lake View, or spending some time in the park, the integrated belt held everything together. The material on these is basically bulletproof, and the bellowed thigh pockets gave me plenty of room to stash a couple of snacks and an extra pair of liner gloves."Those precious days, when the snow total keeps stacking up and every day the mountain has a fresh coat of paint, ought to be cherished. The Cottonwoods Xpore 3L Pant is built to thrive in those conditions, keeping up with every lap and keeping you moving until the lift stops running. A 3-layer Xpore membrane and PFC-free DWR finish keep moisture out no matter how many laps you stack, while Kevlar kick panels guard against edge nicks on tight traverses. A built-in belt and hidden snap fly make quick work of getting dressed at the truck, and inner thigh vents lined in stretch mesh dump heat the moment the sun comes out.
