Patagonia PowSlayer Pants
The pants serious backcountry skiers actually wear.
GORE-TEX ePE Pro is Patagonia's top-tier waterproof fabric — lighter and more breathable than standard GORE-TEX, which matters when you're skinning 3,000 feet before your first run. The PowSlayer is built for people who earn their turns: articulated patterning for full stride on the uphill, sealed seams and a deep powder cuff for the downhill.
Minimalist by design. No insulation, no fluff. This is a shell pant that works with your layering system, not in spite of it.
Best for: Backcountry touring, splitboarding, high-output days in variable Sierra conditions. Steep & deep.
Not for: Resort-only nice day skiing — if you're mostly on the chairlift, the insulated Recon pant will keep you warmer for less money.
Fit note: These run large for freedom of movement. Size down one from your usual size if in-between sized.
