Are the Burton Reserve 2L Insulated Pants warm enough for cold days?

Yes for typical resort cold, thanks to the synthetic insulation. In deep cold or on slow lifts, add a thermal base layer.

They use a two-layer waterproof and breathable shell, so they shed wet snow well. Seams and fabric are built for winter riding, not heavy rain.

How do they compare with shell pants?

They are warmer and less breathable than uninsulated shells. Shells suit spring and high-output riders; these suit cold, wet days.

Yes, thigh vents let you release heat on warmer afternoons or during hikes.

A thin synthetic base layer is enough on most days. Skip heavy fleece unless it is well below freezing.

They run toward a roomier freeride cut. If you are between sizes and want a closer fit, consider sizing down.
