Dropping into a boot-deep patch of wet snow at the lip of a run, the Volcom Arthur 20K Pant keeps its cuffs in check with a self encased elastic hem and a boot gaiter with lace hook. A V-Science 2-layer recycled supreme twill shell, rated 20K/20K, covers everything above the boot. Cut baggy with a relaxed rise, these snowboard pants leave room to move. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"On a bright day of steady lift laps, I open the mesh lined vents on the ride up and zip them shut before the run down. The breathable lining carries off the heat I build on the way, so I'm not shedding layers at the top."
