Like a whale tail for the winter months, the only softness you'll expose wearing these hip huggers is the soft fleece back gaiter that is attached to the Columbia Women's Double Back Ski Pants. Nothing kills the mood like a wad of melting snow down your pants but you still want the on-trend look of low rise ski pants. Columbia Sportswear has solved that problem with the innovative and oh-so-cozy removable waist gaiter. Made from waterproof breathable Omni-Tech(R) polyester stretch fabric, the exterior remains weatherproof while the interior is printed with tiny silver Omni-Heat(R) dots to reflect body heat. Filled with a layer of toasty 60g polyester insulation, these snow pants have an adjustable waist for a custom fit and articulated knees and internal stretch panels to keep you mobile. Leg gaiters seal against your ski boots to keep out the snow and zippered front pockets keep small essentials secure. Leave LA for the unadventurous low-landers and head for the mountains of Mammoth in the ski and snowboard-ready Columbia Double Back Pants for women.
