On the coldest powder days, turn to the Black Magic and its polyester insulation to keep you warm and cozy.

Made for freeriding skiers and snowboarders, these slim pants are remarkably versatile. The soft brushed insulation means they can be worn comfortably over thin or thick base layers. And with Gore-Tex waterproofing and 100-denier Cordura, they won\u2019t break down.<\/p>\n

Bibs are tricky, since they must fit both the legs and the torso. Testers agreed that these balanced those imperatives best: tight enough to keep out snow, loose enough for athletic movement. The Futurelight membrane kept us dry in a downpour of Cascade concrete on Mount Shasta.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Testers loved the Capitol in the backcountry. Credit the Recon hard shell, which was the stretchiest we tried. And the soft jersey lining was so supple that one tester wrote, \u201cThe only ski pants I\u2019d consider going commando in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three-layer Gore-Tex construction made the Untracked second to none at keeping the elements out as we broke trail through a foot of dense, wet Pacific Northwest snow. The fit system is simple yet brilliant\u2014a thick, stretchy belt attaches to Velcro on the hips. The trim waist is countered by a wider freestyle cut at the cuffs, which didn\u2019t inhibit our strides even on steep boot-packs.<\/p>\n
