This is not your average ski pant! We made these because we got really tired of wet chairlift butt. They are intended as a wintry mix and powder day ski pant. The butt and thighs are coated for extra waterproofing. The design is simple, which allowed us to offer them at a lower price than your traditional ski pants. Disclaimer: In enhancing waterproof, we sacrificed some breathability. We do not recommend these for touring.

COMING FALL 2026. Delivery is estimated to be around mid-December IF YOU PRE-ORDER. Pre-ordering helps to guarantee delivery, as it goes toward product payment.
To explain above, we are air shipping pre-orders, and the remainder will go via ocean freight, which takes another couple of weeks.

Butt & Thighs: PolyCore Solutions™ waterborne WPU Eco-Shield coating on 100% polyester.
PolyCore’s mission is to replace harmful solvent-based textile coatings without sacrificing performance. Their coatings are engineered to improve abrasion resistance, waterproofing, and tear strength in technical fabrics used for backpacks, luggage, and outdoor gear.
Stretchy & breathable softshell (double weave) panels at waistband and bib top in order to maximize comfort and enhance breathability.
Lower leg panels: 85% nylon, 15% spandex, 4 way stretch, 30k/25k 3L “waterproof” membrane fabric. C0 DWR, and circular knit backer. Circular knit backer is more breathable, soft, lightweight and packable than tricot alternatives. 3L fabric provides waterproofing in low pressure areas and enhanced breathability.
Abrasion resistant kick patch at inner lower leg

1 waterproof zippered thigh pocket (this is the only pocket)
Traditional ski boot gator at leg opening
Articulated knees
2-way side zipper provides venting and convenience.
Crotch gusset
Adjustable plastic shoulder straps, no buckle.

If you’re between sizes, size up. A looser fit improves airflow, which helps breathability and reduces moisture buildup.
Production runs can vary. If there’s a meaningful difference, we’ll tell you as soon as we know. That’s usually just before your order ships.

Please read these carefully, as these bibs require special care. Coated fabric requires different maintenance than 3L fabric. 3L fabric requires heat to activate the DWR after washing, while heat damages coatings.
Storage: Store them on a hanger, folded at the middle and draped (not hanging by the straps) — try not to bunch or jam into a box or bag. Hanging them by the straps stretches the softshell upper. Jamming and wrinkling compromise the coating.
Frequency: Wash about once a season or as needed. Best practice is to do it at the end to get rid of the sweat and grime before storing them for the summer.
Detergent: Use gentle, fragrance-free, and no-additives detergent. This means no softeners, no fancy stain removers, etc. Do not use powder detergent.
Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Washing: Wash with cold water (we also like the eco warm setting for a better wash) on a gentle cycle or hand wash.
Drying: It is best to dry flat, not machine wash, as the coated fabric does not do well with heat. Drying flat prevents the misshaping of fabric caused by hanging. Dry both inside out and right side out. Because the coated fabric is not breathable, the inside will not dry as well as other ski pants. Select a minimally sunny location for drying, as sunlight can damage the coating.
If you want to reactivate DWR: Hang dry, then once dry or almost dry, machine dry on low heat. I use the ‘time dry’ setting for 20 minutes right side out.
You can test the DWR on the 3L fabric by dropping some water on it. If the water beads, the DWR is re-activated. If the water soaks in, dry bibs on low heat, right side out again for 10 minutes. Repeat until water beads. If you have done this several times with no beading, you must re-apply the DWR. I recommend using a DWR spray to target the 3L panels.
