The Airblaster Contrast Pant reinforces the seat, knee, and lower rear kick patch with durable stretch canvas, exactly where snowboard-specific wear hits hardest from chairlift rides and board-edge contact. The rest of the pant carries a 15,000mm waterproof rating and fully seam-sealed construction across a Baggy Plus fit, so the loose cut doesn't cost anything in real storm protection. Zippered mesh inner leg vents dump heat when the pace picks up, and an adjustable waistband with elastic lower leg gaiters lock in a secure fit through a full day of riding. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I've ridden a full season in these, kneeling in the snow and sliding onto chairlifts more times than I can count, and the reinforced zones haven't shown a single sign of wearing through."
