Some days we just need tights under our shells, but when temperatures at the resort drop, we rock the Backcountry Wolverine Cirque Insulated Pant under our snow pants. These warm layering pants boast Primaloft Gold Active insulation that traps heat while releasing moisture, full - length 2 - way zippers on each leg that allow us to control our personal climate as temperatures fluctuate, and a 3 / 4 - length that sits just above our ski or snowboard boot for coverage and comfort. While all this boosts our comfort on hill, we really love that the nylon and fleece combination offers an apres - ready look that lets us go straight from pow turns to the evening festivities.
