Womens Ski Pants

Ski pants, also known as salopettes, are designed to provide waterproof and windproof protection on the slopes whilst being breathable. The garment's breathability is commonly measured in grams according to its level of insulation while waterproof rating is given in millimetres. Entry level pieces will usually sport a rating of 5000g/5000mm, mid range 10000g/10000mm and optimal performance fabrics meeting or exceeding 20000g/20000mm. Opt for Gore-Tex, DWR coatings and sealed critical seams for added waterproof protection.
