Are the Sentinel Insulated Pants warm enough for cold resort days?

Yes. Coreloft Compact insulation plus the GORE-TEX shell handles cold, windy storm days with a light base layer. On mild spring days they can be too warm.

How do they compare with uninsulated Sentinel shell pants?

The insulated version adds warmth and weight; the shell version breathes better and layers more flexibly. Choose insulated for cold days, shell for spring and high-output touring.

Do they fit over ski and snowboard boots?

Yes. The stretch softshell PowderCuffs are cut to seal over different boot styles, and the regular fit leaves room for a base layer.

Are they good for ski touring?

They work for sidecountry and short tours, but the insulation and weight make them warmer than most tourers want on long climbs. Thigh vents help on the up.

What is the RECCO reflector for?

It is a passive reflector that resort rescue teams can detect with their RECCO detectors. It is not a substitute for an avalanche transceiver.

Is the insulation synthetic?

Yes. It uses Coreloft Compact synthetic insulation, which keeps some warmth when damp, unlike down.
