- Is the Nils Melissa X warm enough for cold ski days?
- It is an insulated winter pant, so it is built for cold resort days. How warm it feels depends on what you layer underneath and how active you are.
- Does it come in short or petite lengths?
- Yes. Nils lists the Melissa X in regular and petite/short size types, which helps shorter skiers avoid a bunched hem over boots.
- What size should I order?
- The pant is offered up to size 22. Nils ski wear tends to run to its own size chart, so measure your waist and hips and compare before ordering rather than assuming your usual size.
- Is it waterproof enough for wet snow?
- Nils does not publish detailed waterproof and breathability ratings for this pant. Treat it as a resort pant for typical winter conditions, not a shell for heavy rain or wet spring slush.
- Can I wear it for snowboarding too?
- Yes. It is listed for both skiing and snowboarding, and the insulated build and regular fit work with a board stance as well as skis.
- What is in the box?
- The pant itself. It is a single pair of insulated ski pants in black; no jacket, suspenders or base layer is included.
