When the skies cut loose an epic storm-of-the-season the Cloudveil Men's RPK Pant stays dry regardless of weather and snow conditions. The key is the GORE-TEX® Soft Shell fabric which is warmer softer and more supple than standard GORE-TEX® which breathes freely when you're overheated on the lift ride up and seals you up during a leg burning run down. High abrasion areas are reinforced with durable Schoeller Dynatec to ward off 'with wild abandon' edge cuts. An internal ankle gaiter keeps out the bottomless powder and a 3/4-length outer thigh-to-cuff zip provides much needed venting when you overheat from the exertion of rapid laps. On the next tram up a long slash zip utility hand pocket holds a convenient gog-wipe while you reach in a convenient thigh pocket for some energy bar fortification. Leaning against the window elasticized tabs cinch up the tricot lined belt-looped waist as you prepare to barge the door for first tracks down the newly opened backcountry.
