adidas TERREX 3L Sustainable Pants 2022-2023

Price: €350

Over the years, adidas has proven to us that they have an eye for style, and to be honest, they’ve managed to nail the look on their new technical outerwear too. With added sustainability and tech points, the new adidas TERREX 3L sustainable pants are gaining a lot of plus points from us.

Improved environmental consciousness has also been on the radar as adidas continuously pushes to improve on the sustainability side of things. The 3L pants are produced using “second life nylon”, meaning the brand has used recycled nylon made from pre-consumer fabric waste and post-consumer materials such as fishing nets for the construction of the shell.

Who Are the adidas TERREX 3L Sustainable Pants For?

If you’re looking for one jacket to do it all, the beauty of the 3-in-1 jacket is its multifunctionality: keep the insulation attached for the colder days and lose it for the warmer ones. On top of that, the attached mid-layer is easily detached and can be used on its own, giving you, as the name implies, three jackets in one for a very reasonable price. Paired up with the 3L sustainable pants, you’ve got a stylish outfit designed to withhold the harshest of climates, without sacrificing on style or comfort.

Beyond Medals Zip Pant 2022-2023

Price: €190

We’ve seen how well the Beyond Medals t-shirts and hoodies went down with the crowd, and we’re stoked to see that they are expanding their offerings to technical outerwear. These guys know what they are doing, and a snowboarder-owned-snowboarder-driven brand is always a welcomed plus in this industry, so let’s support them and let’s support snowboarding.

Who Are The Beyond Medals Zip Pants For?

This outfit is for the mellow cruiser who’s equally keen to ride through the resort as they are to take the occasional spin through some fresh backcountry pow. A clean-cut without all the extra faff, this unisex outfit provides just the right amount of tech and style for the ones riding ‘beyond medals’.

Jones Shralpinist Stretch 3L Bib Pants 2022-2023

Price: €500 / $500

In a world of Patagonias and North Faces, it seems hard to fathom how another brand (a snowboard specific one, no less) could muscle its way into the ‘sustainable, performance driven, technical outerwear’ corner of the market. As Jeremy himself said when we interviewed him last year, “there’s virtually no hardgoods company that has had success in outerwear”.

And yet, somehow, Jones haven’t just caused a ripple in these waters, they’ve created a wave. Their line of outerwear is genuinely impressive, not only in terms of its technical performance and functionality, but in the way they’ve done it with virtually 100% recycled materials. The OG Shralpinist may still be the flagship offering when it comes to top-of-the-line durability and weather protection, but the all-new stretch version won our vote in every other round.

Who Are The Jones Shralpinist Stretch 3L Bib Pants For?

Forget the resort vs. backcountry divide. These things have all the functionality and wearability to feel right at home on a 12,000 foot peak as much as a day spent in bounds, sniffing out powder stashes and lining up sidehits. Along with the swanky four-way stretch material, they’ll be especially popular with riders who want to feel completely unrestricted when hiking, tweaking or skinning their way through the mountains.

Patagonia Powder Town Pants 2022-2023

Price: £230 Pants, £250 Insulated Pants, £270 Bib Pants

Patagonia themselves understand that they’re not the cheapest options on the market, and they don’t shy away from this topic. Their ethos on this is ‘Buy Better’, the whole idea is to invest in a good quality, ethically made garment and keep it in circulation for as long as possible.

They’d encourage you to repair rather than rebuy, and they kickstarted a Worn Wear scheme, where they restore older bits of kit that may have once been discarded. Repair is a radical act, and one of the best ways to keep your footprint as small as possible when participating in sports like snowboarding.

Who Is The Patagonia Powder Town Pants For?

We’d put this set more in the all-mountain category, so you’ll probably spend most of your time in bounds. That’s not to say you can’t go for a sidecountry session, but on the whole you’ll be riding resort and looking damn good doing it.

Who Is The Volcom Arthur Pants For?

The subtle retro look is just enough for you to get compliments on your look, yet not too much to brighten up the whole resort. The Volcom Longo Pullover Jacket and Arthur Pants are perfect for the mellow resort cruiser who just wants to feel comfortable and have a good time without having to worry about their outerwear giving up on them when the conditions take a turn for the worse.
