Patagonia PowSlayer Pants The pants serious backcountry skiers actually wear. GORE-TEX ePE Pro is Patagonia&';s top-tier waterproof fabric - lighter and more breathable than standard GORE-TEX, which matters when you&';re skinning 3,000 feet before your first run. The PowSlayer is built for people who earn their turns: articulated patterning for full stride on the uphill, sealed seams and a deep powder cuff for the downhill. Minimalist by design. No insulation, no fluff. This is a shell pant that works with your layering system, not in spite of it. Best for: Backcountry touring, splitboarding, high-output days in variable Sierra conditions. Steep & deep. Not for: Resort-only nice day skiing - if you&';re mostly on the chairlift, the insulated Recon pant will keep you warmer for less money. Fit note: These run large for freedom of movement. Size down one from your usual size if in-between sized. Ideal For: Backcountry touring and deep powder days. Resort storm laps with full freedom to move. Technical alpine missions demanding maximum protection. Key Features: 3-layer GORE-TEXA(R) ePE Pro shell: Ultralight, waterproof, windproof, and PFC-free.
