Men’s Ski Pants at Arc’teryx
Ski pants take the edges, the wet chairs and the falls, so they have to be tough as well as protective. Our men’s ski pants and snowboard pants cover freeride cuts, touring bibs and resort pants, and each pair carries the thigh vents and RECCO reflectors you actually use on snow. Choose by how you ride, then build the layers around them.
Which men’s ski pants suit freeride skiing?
The Sabre Pant is our freeride ski and snowboard pant, built from durable GORE-TEX that shuts out sleet, snow and wind. A warm backer adds light insulation, thigh vents dump heat on the uptrack, and a RECCO reflector is embedded for safety. If you want more room, the Sabre Relaxed Pant has a relaxed fit and a recycled 200D nylon canvas face. Both pair with a ski jacket and a ski fleece jacket on resort days and backcountry laps.
Which men’s ski pants with a bib suit deep powder and touring?
Among our ski pants, a full bib adds protection in deep powder, which is the Sabre Bib’s job on freeride days, with the same warm backer, vents and reflector as the Sabre Pant. The Rush Bib is the touring pick, built lighter and more durable for the ascent, with a roomier fit, added leg articulation and two top-entry bib pockets. Key-clip pockets on the chest and thighs and a media sleeve in each thigh pocket keep your essentials where you can reach them on the uptrack.
Which men’s snowboard pants suit resort days?
The Fissile Insulated Pant is the resort-day option for ski and snowboard riders. Recycled Coreloft insulation adds breathable warmth without bulk, and thigh vents manage heat on lifts, traverses and warmer runs. Stretch powder cuffs, low-profile pockets and RECCO recovery technology take you from first chair to last turn, and the pattern leaves room to bend into a boot buckle or a binding. Add a beanie for the lift line and finish with ski socks.
Men’s Ski Pants FAQs
Should I choose ski pants or a ski bib?
Choose a bib when deep snow is the plan, because the full bib adds protection in powder. Choose pants for resort laps, where a simpler layer is quicker on and off. The Sabre Pant and Sabre Bib share the same warm backer, thigh vents and RECCO reflector, so the call comes down to coverage, and the Rush Bib is the one to look at for touring.
Sabre Pant or Sabre Relaxed Pant: which men’s ski pants should I choose?
Pick the Sabre Pant for focused articulation that frees you to move on technical descents. Pick the Sabre Relaxed Pant when you want more room to kneel, sit and layer, with multiple pockets for storage. Both are listed for ski and snowboard freeride, so either works as men’s snowboard pants, and both are free of intentionally added PFAS.
How should men’s snowboard pants fit?
Roomy enough to squat, kneel and sit in the snow without the knees pulling, with space for layers underneath. The Rush Bib has a roomier fit with added leg articulation, and the Fissile is patterned for freedom of movement. Do the knee-to-chest test before you commit, and check that the waist stays put and the hems do not ride up your boots.
What should I wear under men’s ski pants?
Start with a next-to-skin ski base layer bottom. The Rho LT Bottom and Rho Merino Wool Bottom are both made to layer cleanly beneath the cut, and the waistband should sit flat under the pant. Our layering guide explains how to match weight to how hard you work.
