What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skied a full day in the Lightray Pant through heavy snowfall and some wet afternoon slush, and the GORE-TEX shell kept everything out without question. The PrimaLoft Black insulation was warm enough to skip a midlayer on a cold morning, and the leg vents saved me once the sun came out and the temperature climbed. The internal gaiters sealed tight over my boots and never let a flake sneak in."The lifts open in twenty minutes, the snow has been falling all night, and the only thing standing between a perfect powder day and a cold, wet one is what you pull on before stepping outside. The Marmot Lightray Pant is built for exactly that moment, pairing a 2-layer GORE-TEX shell with PrimaLoft Black ECO insulation to deliver the kind of protection that holds up from first chair through the last run of the day, no matter what the mountain throws at you. Fully seam-taped construction locks out moisture at every stitch, while a DWR finish sheds water from the surface before it has a chance to settle in. External leg vents open fast when the pace or temperature picks up, and articulated knees keep movement natural through deep carves and tight tree lines. Internal gaiters with gripper elastic seal the gap between pant and boot to keep powder where it belongs, and Cordura scuff guards reinforce the cuffs against edge contact and abrasion over a full season of hard use. A RECCO avalanche rescue reflector adds a layer of safety on days when the backcountry beckons.
