686 Deconstructed Denim Pant 2016 2017

These 10k/10k pants are backed by 40g polyfil insulation boosting their warmth giving properties up a notch, and a reinforced hem will help stop heel drag leading to actual wear and tear.

Women’s Black Magic Overall 2016 2017

Burton Southside Denim Pant | Covert Denim Pant 2016 2017

Two more bluesign approved options here – and if you’re counting different bagginess/insulation options you can go ahead and up that to four.

First up the Southside shell pants with both mid fit and slim fit options – the slightly more tech option of the two with 10k/10k fabric – adorned with large pockets on the thigh, and test-i-cool mesh vents, but still with the look of a dark denim set of jeans.

Then on the right, the Covert Pant, with options for a 40g insulated version if you’re after extra warmth. These come in with 10k/5k fabric and a looser classic fit, but still feature fully taped seams and share many features with the Southside – which one you pick is up to you…

686 Authentic Raw Insulated Denim Snowboard Pants 2015 2016

686’s Authentic Raw snowboard pants come in both insulated and uninsulated options depending on your need for warmth, and with a slim/straight fit they’ll happily work with riders who don’t link to slink too near to the skinny and baggy ends of the spectrum.

10k waterproof and 8k breathable, with fully taped seams, mesh lined vents, and a snap-shut ankle slit, they’ve got the goods in terms of features, with the 40g insulated providing light relief for those that run cold. And unlike some of the more traditional pairs in our picking, you can get the 5 pocket denim design in ‘Duck Twill’ yellow and ‘Gunmetal’ colour ways as well as indigo.

Analog Remer Denim Snowboard Pants 2015 2016

Very little outwardly betrays the Analog Remer snowboard pants as a technical item of clothing – but that’s not to say that they don’t have the technical chops to get you through the season.

The denim pair comes with a slight stretch to the fabric, which is 10k/5k waterproof, and has a slim fit that widens very slightly past the knee to fit over your boots. Incase that doesn’t give you enough freedom of movement, however, they’ve also given the Remer an articulated knee to let you bend. Strictly for lovers of black denim here, unless you fancy going for one of their oxford twill colourways.

Burton Covert Denim Snowboard Pants 2015 2016

For those after a relaxed fit (and relatively relaxed price point) the Burton Covert Pants are one of the baggier denim designs on offer. Again they come in both insulated (40g) and shell options, and feature the same 10k/5k premium waterproofing as the Analog Remer above.

Other than the shape of the cut, you’ll notice that the Covert feature bigger pockets that make them look more like a snowboarding pant than an actual pair of jeans – and features like the full knee to knee venting zip, fully tapered seams, reinforced heel cuffs with draws to keep them out of the dirt and more help establish these as a proper technical pair.

Price: £135 (Insulated)

Burton Lucky Women’s Denim Snowboards Pants 2015 2016

Cut from the same denim fabric as their Burton Covert brothers, the Burton Lucky women’s snowboard pant features a regular women’s bootcut shape, and once more they’ve gone for the traditional features and look of snowboard pants, albeit with a denim twist.

Unlike the Covert, however, you’ll have to look elsewhere if you’re after an insulated option, the taffetta lined Lucky pants are made to function as a shell so you can pick and add your own layers underneath if you choose.

Double cargo pockets give plenty of space for storage on these, and thigh vents let additional air escape on the 10k/5k design – while those reinforced cuffs provide resistance to tearing when you step off snow onto rougher terrain.

Colour Wear Cork Women’s Denim Snowboard Pants – 2015 2016

Go even more modern with your denim colourway and you end up in the realm of the Colour Wear Cork snowboard pants.

Long famed for contrasting colours and block designs – the company have given the Cork a bright white patch and zippers that are subtle enough to keep them looking classic, while taking them away from the jean look.

Slim without being figure hugging, this pair is lined with 250T polyester lining for comfort, and has 10k/10k weatherproofing – not to mention taped seams, venting on the inner thigh, and articulated knees to let you move freely.

For ladies seeking the female equivalent of the Miner, the choice is made pretty easy by the presence of the DaKine Westside pants. Cut from the same denim and featuring the same high-quality tech features, their shell design gives you the freedom to layer up and stay comfy all season long.

Other than the female specific cut, you’re essentially looking at the same fundamental design here, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as both men and women need high quality snow pants to get them through their days on the hill.

DC Relay Denim Snowboard Pants – 2015 2016

DC’s Relay snowboard pants in ‘Anthracite’ may not strictly be marked in as a denim option – but if you see threads that look more like jeans on your travels be sure to let us know. What’s more they’re looking like one of the most tech pairs we’ve got, with DC’s Exotex 15k waterproof material and fully taped seams protecting you against the elements.

If you’re looking for a ladies equivalent, keep scrolling on to the DC Viva (below), but for men looking for a denim fade, regular fit, and plenty of features, the DC Relay are well worth a look.

DC Viva Women’s Denim Snowboard Pants – 2015 2016

As promised, DC don’t leave the ladies hanging, with the ‘Caviar’ colourway of their Viva pants looking pretty damn denim inspired to us. They’re also built on Exotex 15k waterproof fabric, but come in a tailored boot cut fit instead of the straight leg.

Still on the side of a shell, they have taffeta lining, with a bit of additional warming brushed mesh in the knees and seat where things can spend more time in contact with snow.

You get an additional zip-up thigh pocket on the Viva, as well as the zipped hand and back pockets, so there is storage despite the fitted design – and articulated knees will give you the room to move that you need.

L1 Heartbreaker Premium Women’s Denim Snowboard Pants – 2015 2016

L1 are always primed and ready when it comes to streetwear inspired snow clothing – so it’ll come as no surprise to most that they’ve got good options for denim outerwear.

Starting off with the L1 Heartbreaker Premium, a skinny fitting ladies pant with three options for denim fabric. You’re probably going to want to try these on in person, as they are pitched as a shell pant (you might need room to layer a bit) – but with 10k/10k fabric they’ll do their bit to keep the weather away. And thanks to their stretch denim design you should find the right fit comfortable too.

L1 One Pant Denim Snowboard Pants – 2015 2016

If you’re in the market for winter jeans with the capability to crossover onto snow – the L1 One Pant sits right in the crosshairs.

Pushed as a sort of hybrid, they’re not designed to fit over snowboard boots, but if you give them a bit of a roll up, they will handle time on snow too. The fabric is 10k/10k with fully taped seams, but as you might imagine the One Pant is missing a few of the bells and whistles you’ll find on more technical wear.

Nevertheless if you live and breathe life on snow, and want one pair of jeans that you won’t have to change to hit your favourite spot in a hurry – these are built for you.
