It’s a given that race suits are cool. Super cool. Sometimes they are a little too cool…more like cold. For those times, the Pierra Menta Alpha ¾ pant can save the day. Boosting your warmth with Polartec Alpha insulation, these pants are perfect for warming up, cooling down, and navigating blustery ridge lines. The insulation is targeted to specific areas so that your body warms up without building up sweat. Millet smartly didn’t have the pant cover your ski boots, which would just be unnecessary weight. The three-quarter pants are built with ultra-breathable Airtastic material which protects the insulation but doesn’t bog you down.
- ¾ length stops just above the boot to keep knees and quads warm without getting in the way of boot function.
- Elastic waist is comfortable over other layers and won’t give you “muffin-top.”
- Zip closures allow for putting on the pants without removing skis.

Hey on these 3/4 Millet alpha , I wear bibs when skiing and at times have up to 3 layers on cold nights. Will they take the place of 2 layer? So I would wear 1 thin and this product. Also is it real thick and make it to thick to fit under bibs? And lastly do they have a draw string, making it a real bitch to pee?

Frank, these are designed to throw over a race pants (which are not warm at all) for extra warmth. So they are a loose fit and have full side zips to put on. No zip up front to pee. They only have insulation in the front and just softshell in the back.
