What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I like these for riders who want storm protection but still want to move freely. The stretch fabric makes a difference when you're hiking lines or skating flats, and the 30K waterproof rating holds up when the snow turns wet, or the storm sticks around all day."Storm days don't always mean slow laps. The Karat Stretch 30K Pant from Volcom keeps us dry, mobile, and comfortable when conditions shift from blowing snow to wet afternoon flakes. A relaxed fit and mid-rise design move easily whether we're carving early groomers, weaving through trees, or booting up a short ridge for fresh tracks. Volcom's V-Science 2-layer construction pairs a 30K waterproof membrane with four-way stretch fabric to keep moisture out while maintaining full mobility. Fully taped seams seal out snow, while mesh-lined vents and hip vents release heat during hikes or sunny afternoon laps. Details like the Zip Tech pant-to-jacket interface, reinforced hems, and a boot gaiter with lace hook keep snow outside where it belongs through long winter days.
