Are these pants warm enough for cold ski days?

Yes. The synthetic insulation is aimed at cold resort days, and owners report staying warm on lift rides. On mild spring days they can feel too warm.

Are they fully waterproof?

They use a 2-layer waterproof membrane with sealed seams, so they handle snow and wet conditions well. They are not designed for prolonged rain or sitting in slush.

How do they fit over base layers?

The cut is relaxed, so most owners layer leggings or thin fleece underneath without restriction. Some find the fit boxy through the legs.

Do they have pockets?

Yes, they have zippered hand pockets. There are fewer pockets than on premium technical pants.

Are they good for snowboarding as well as skiing?

Yes. The waterproof, insulated build works for both, though the limited articulation and venting suit resort riding better than aggressive freeride.

How do they compare with shell pants?

They are warmer out of the box and need fewer layers, but shells breathe better and vent more for hiking or spring skiing.
