Review: Outdoor Research Skyward II Pants

Whether you’re skiing powder in arctic mid-winter conditions or busting out late-season corn-snow laps, the Outdoor Research Skyward II Pants won’t leave you wanting. The unique fabric is fully waterproof, but stretchier and more breathable than a true hard-shell. They’ve got pockets in all the right places with rubberized zippers, and their wide, reinforced cuffs with built-in gaiters are specifically designed to fit around ski boots. $329; outdoorresearch.com.
