It's nearly impossible to go wrong with the Marmot Kate Pants. They were crafted to keep their wearer warm, dry and on the move, skiing from one part of the mountain to another. Their M1 WPB Softshell is smooth and comfy, capable of moving with their wearer. With a slim fit and articulated knees, you'll stay in control of your movements and won't be restricted either. Internal gaiters help keep the snow from piling up within your pant leg and stay in place with their gripper elastic. The Marmot Kate Pants look great, feel great and just simply are great.
