Crazy Idea Backslash Pant

Skiing in jeans has always been a way to make a statement to other skiers, but unfortunately, cotton just has no functional place in the backcountry. However, the Backslash pants combines the sought-after look of jeans while avoiding the use cotton, a fabric that is absolutely terrible for snow sports. Here's the thing-- skiing in jeans is cool. It takes a pretty confident and competent skier to pull the look off, and now you can get the look without dealing with wet pants after one run. Hip-to-cuff zips mean these pants can be donned and doffed without taking your ski boots off. A reinforced lower leg means you can rock the jean look while booting (in crampons) up an icy couloir without worrying that you're going to destroy your fancy new pants. If you want to upgrade your race kit and stand out more than the bright orange lycra race suit already does, buy some Backslash pants and start looking like you've been skiing hard since '69. The Crazy Idea Backslash pants offer the fastest transition into après ski mode.

• Synthetic construction breathes well and stays dry better than your wranglers, and stretches with you for the daffys, spread eagles, and screamin' seamens you'll be throwing.
• These pants look so much like jeans, you'll be able to show up to work and, besides your smell, nobody will be able to tell that you were skiing only 20 minutes earlier.
• The Backlash pant zips right on over your race suit, and immediately makes you ski 1.5x faster and look 1.5x cooler.
