Slimmed down and streamlined, the Blackpowder II Pants are an athlete-insisted update to a best-selling, favorite piece of bomber backcountry wear. Packed with the same weather-resistant durability that holds up to the demands of mountain professionals, the Blackpowder II uses four key design elements that hit on every detail you demand from a ski pant: (1) Pertex® Shield exterior wards off precipitation, (2) Polyester tricot upper leg lining keeps thighs soft and warm (3) Taffeta lower leg lining adds durability and comfort to calves, and (4) A 420D nylon scuffguard protects ankles from abrasions against rock, ice, and touring gear. Add to that a ski-specific feature set that will eliminate any hesitation you have on the drop-in; the Blackpowder II Pants are your ticket to tackling a season full of steep chutes with complete confidence.
