Men's ski pants
Choose your Men's Winter Pants from the best brands - Express delivery
When it comes to men's ski pants, it's essential to choose equipment that combines comfort, performance and protection. Whether you're a beginner skier or a thrill-seeking expert, the right pants can make all the difference on the slopes. In this buying guide, we'll explore the key criteria to consider when choosing your ski pants, as well as the best brands available on the market. Discover our selection of men's sportswear and get ready to hit the slopes in style.
Essential criteria for choosing your ski pants
The first criterion to consider is the waterproofness of the fabric. A good pair of pants must be able to withstand the elements while allowing good air circulation. Pants are often classified according to their waterproof index, measured in millimeters (mm). For regular practice in varied conditions, opt for a model offering at least 10,000 mm of waterproofness. Breathability is just as important: it allows perspiration to escape, preventing moisture build-up inside the garment.
Thermal insulation and comfort
Thermal insulation is crucial when skiing in cold weather. Pants can vary in terms of thickness and type of insulation used. Materials such as Primaloft or merino wool are recommended for their lightness and insulating efficiency. If you're an active skier who tends to get hot quickly, look for models with ventilation zips for optimal body temperature regulation.
Practical details and extra features
Details often make all the difference when choosing ski pants. Think of the pockets: they need to be big enough to hold your essentials without compromising your figure or impeding your movements on the slopes. A system for attaching the pants to your jacket can also be very useful to prevent snow from penetrating under your clothes during falls or difficult conditions.
The best brands available
To guarantee quality and performance, turn to well-known ski brands such as Ortovox, Volcom and Haglofs. These manufacturers offer a wide range, from technical pants to more casual models suitable for occasional outings.
Don't forget that every skier has his or her own specific needs, so it's important to try on several models before making your final choice, so that they fit you perfectly. Also explore our adjacent categories such as winter jackets, fleeces and technical underwear to complete your equipment!
