These are ‘shell’ pants, meaning they don’t have any built-in insulation. Don a pair of thermals underneath if it’s going to be a cold one, but otherwise there’s a lot to enjoy about riding solely in a lightweight layer. In the unlikely event that you’re still too warm, the mesh-backed vents give you the option for a blast of refreshment as you ride.

The size range runs from Small right the way up to Double XL, so getting the right fit for you is easy – especially when you factor in the tailored leg shaping and adjustable waistband.

You can avoid scuffing the bottom of your pants thanks to an easy-to-use drawstring system on the back of each leg. They’re already pretty tough, though, boasting durable Cordura material.

Two minimal cargo pockets give you extra stashing options, and a handy key clip can save you from an awkward conversation with your driving buddy at the end of the day. It may not seem like a deal-breaker, but with so much outerwear to choose from, it’s that kind of attention to detail that can make all the difference.

In short, the Horsefeathers Korbu snowboard pants have everything the committed rider needs, and more.
