Does anyone wear stretch ski pants these days?

Those ^ look great. Outdoor Research Cirque pants are similar, maybe a little more stretch. They're soft-shell and very comfortable.

Apparently wool ski pants aren't fully a thing of the past. I'd be curious to see these IRL (and on deep discount!) More of a light ski day then straight to apres pant?

100% merino with a water-resistant coating added to make them "light rain" repellent.

Curious about how wind resistant these are.

I haven't been able to find any reviews on any of the Shell+ items. There are a few short write ups from when they came out last year, but those only mention that they are innovative for being made from a plastic free fabric. One of them did say something about highly wind resistant, but who knows what that really means. Icebreaker has free returns-- any volunteers to buy a pair and stand in front of a fan? :wink:

Well who would've thought Icebreaker would branch out into outerwear ! The pants look a little weird to me with those pockets though but I like the concept :thumbsup:

Its interesting, matching shell also - wish it was made in colors other than black and orange...... for when its on MooseJaw/ SC/STP in a few years..... I like the cut on the Jacket BUT note the models for Jacket and Pants are 5'9" 23 in. waist or 5'10" 24 in. waist.... for a size small.

What do you have for waterproof pants when you're skiing in a blizzard? You see a lot of Frauenschuh in Austria.....

I wear any Frauenshuh or Authier. They are all super well made and warm. In fact, I was wearing my other Frauenschuh today. It snowed all day and it was windy and cold.
