Patagonia Ridge Stride Pant Women's

It can be really hard to find the perfect pair of ski touring pants, but we think that the Patagonia Ridge Stride Pants come pretty close. These softshell, weather-resistant pants can be worn against the skin or with baselayers and are likely to be the go-to choice for most days in the backcountry. In this most recent iteration, the fit has been dialed in to better accommodate a wider range of users while prioritizing movement efficiency. For added breathability, there are two large zippered vents on the outer thighs and two additional pockets to keep odds and ends out of the way.

• Two zippered storage pockets on thighs, and two large thigh vents.
• Gaiters seal out snow and wrap around boots, with a 3-button adjustment and a zippered hem.
• Abrasion guards on hem and inner legs to shrug off ski edges.
• Waist is elastic with a button cinch and belt loops.
