Storm cycles stay on the outside of the Mountain Hardwear Warp Factor Pant, waterproof ski and snowboard pants with 2-layer DrySpell fabric that breathes through hard laps. Recycled nylon ripstop keeps the pants light and supple, so they move with the rider through lifts, turns, and long traverses. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Bootpacking up a ridge and sitting in the snow to strap in wear down pants at the knees and hem first. The tough Cordura nylon patches in those spots take the abrasion, so the lighter ripstop around them stays out of it."
