These padded ski pants are fantastic, with all the practical features you need out on the slopes. Although designed primarily for skiing, your teenager can, of course, also wear them any cold winter day. These pants are made from slightly stronger Nylon Taslan that keeps out the wind and rain, and the outer fabric is lined with a membrane that allows excess heat to escape. We have also added PrimaLoft padding that is fantastically soft and provides great warmth while keeping weight to a minimum. Consequently, your teenager should remain suitably warm and dry, whatever the weather and whatever the activity. Taped seams throughout prevent water seeping through when in close contact with rain or snow. These pants have ankle cuffs that can be easily adjusted on the inside to extend by approx. 3 cm. This allows the garment to be worn for an additional season if needed. Recommended primarily as winter ski pants.
