Key Features in Snowboard Pants

The best snowboard pants combine weather protection with the freedom to move on the mountain. Look for:

  • Waterproof membranes and taped seams to help block snow and moisture
  • Reinforced boot gaiters to keep out snow around the ankle
  • Zippered vents for temperature control during a long day
  • Extra room in the seat and thighs for freedom of movement on the slopes
  • Adjustable waist for a secure, customized fit

How to Pick the Right Snowboard Pants

The right pair depends on how and where you ride. Insulated pants add built-in warmth for colder days, while shell pants pair well with a base layer for versatile coverage. A snowboard bib delivers extra protection through the waist and upper body for deep snow adventures. Consider the length and cut to match your boots, and pick a fit that works for your preferred terrain and riding style.

FAQs

What's the difference between snowboard pants and ski pants?
Snowboard pants and ski pants share many of the same features, but snowboard styles often have a looser fit through the seat and thighs to allow more freedom of movement. Ski pants typically sit closer to the leg for a streamlined fit. Either option can work for both sports depending on your preferred fit and riding style.
Are snowboard bibs a better option than pants?
Snowboard bibs provide extra coverage above the waist to help keep you protected during deep snow conditions, while pants offer easier layering and more airflow. Bibs are a great choice for extreme weather and backcountry excursions, and pants are often the best option for park riding and warmer resort days.
What waterproof rating should I look for in snowboard pants?
A higher waterproof rating helps provide better protection in wet conditions. A 10,000mm rating works well for most resort riding, while 15,000mm or higher is a better choice for heavy snow and wetter conditions.
Do you carry pants for skiing too?
Yes, Peter Glenn carries styles for both snowboarding and skiing, so you can find the right fit for your sport. Browse our full ski pants collection for skiing-specific options with a closer cut and integrated features.
