What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"These baselayers changed my ski touring game. The full side zips let me take them off mid-ascent without removing boots or pants-a total lifesaver when temps spike. They're breathable yet warm when needed, and the pocket is a clever touch for stowing essentials on fast transitions."When long days in the backcountry demand adaptable warmth, we reach for the Raide TourTech Baselayer Bottoms. Designed with ski touring in mind, these 3/4-length baselayers feature full-length side zips, allowing us to add or remove them without touching our boots-a game changer during dynamic weather or grueling climbs. Built from a friction-free synthetic fabric with a brushed interior, the TourTech keeps us gliding comfortably through each transition. The integrated waistband adjusts on the fly, and silicone grippers keep everything in place under shell pants. Ventilation zones at the hips and calves promote airflow, while the thigh pocket doubles as a stow pouch for easy packing. These bottoms are a staple for our touring setup.
