Basin and Range Empire 3L Shell Pant Men's

Before you venture into deep powder, you'd better be wearing the Basin and Range Men's Empire 3L Shell Pants, because skiing pow pantless isn't quite as pleasurable as you might think. With a three layer shell, fully taped seams, and a DWR finish, the Empires will keep you dry whether you're carving groomers on a bluebird day or finding deep powder stashes on a storm day. In those times you do need to lose a little heat, you can open up the two inner thigh vents to let a little cool air circle through just remember to zip them back up before you get into the deep stuff. Boot gaiters seal out snow, and two hand pockets and a zippered thigh pocket keep your phone and a few chairlift chip snacks close at hand.
