A few years ago, I went ski mountaineering in Switzerland with two friends. Spirits were high and the weather was at its best early in the morning. Everything was seemingly going perfectly until we were standing in the car park getting ready for the tour. As I don\u2019t like long drives in ski clothes, I was still wearing \u201ccivilian clothes\u201d at this point and was now searching for all the essential items of clothing from my bag in the boot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suddenly panicked, my ski trousers weren\u2019t there. Nowhere. Gone. Probably somewhere at home. Damn. Expletive. Cursing. Shouting. None of my friends had spare ski trousers either, so I had two options: spend a day in the pub or go ski touring in fabric trousers. I chose the latter and have never been as cold as I was on that one day in the Alps. Ever since, I\u2019ve known the benefits of a good pair of ski trousers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what actually makes a good pair of ski trousers and what should you consider when buying them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-are-the-right-ski-trousers\">Which are the right ski trousers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As is almost always the case when buying a product, you should be clear about what the product, ski trousers in our case, will be used for. Here, I\u2019m sure some Smart Alec will chime in, \u201cSkiing, obviously.\u201d But it\u2019s not quite that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/marmot_008_by-weiermann1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/marmot_008_by-weiermann1.jpg\" alt=\"Ski trousers for skiers and tourers\" class=\"wp-image-84351\" width=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/marmot_008_by-weiermann1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/marmot_008_by-weiermann1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/marmot_008_by-weiermann1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ski trousers for skiers and tourers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ski trousers which are mainly used for <strong>alpine skiing<\/strong>, usually have a <strong>thicker lining<\/strong> than those designed for <strong>Freeride<\/strong>or <strong>touring<\/strong>. When you ascend, you quickly get warm from the movement and exertion. Usually you climb up once, descend and either have something to eat or go straight home. This means you are in motion almost all the time and need <strong>less insulation<\/strong> than with alpine skiing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With alpine skiing, there are periods of effort (descent) and rest (queuing, lifts). As you move, your speed creates wind which the ski trousers have to keep out. The body also warms itself through the movement and effort and often, you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/sweat-rate-calculator\/\">sweat<\/a>. If you don\u2019t immediately get going home after a descent, then you usually have to stand in a queue to go back up again, which means sitting around and barely moving, so the body cools down. If you\u2019ve built up a real sweat, you\u2019ll freeze quickly. However, good ski trousers manage this problem by having a <strong>balanced ratio<\/strong> of <strong>insulation<\/strong> and <strong>breathability<\/strong> which limit this problem so that it doesn\u2019t bother you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you ride with lined or unlined trousers, there are a few properties that are essential for good ski trousers We\u2019ve summarised the key features below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-material-and-workmanship\">Material and Workmanship<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/61.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/61.jpg\" alt=\"Ski trousers with material reinforcements on the inside leg\" class=\"wp-image-84357\" width=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/61.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/61-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/61-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Material reinforcements on the inside leg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ski trousers are subject to heavy wear and tear both when touring and when alpine skiing. These can be caused both by cold, wetness and wind, and by mechanical impacts such as ski boots, steel edges and falls. Therefore, you should make sure that your ski trousers are made from as <strong>abrasion-resistant<\/strong> and <strong>robust<\/strong> material as possible. <strong>Material reinforcements<\/strong> on the <strong>inside leg<\/strong> also prevent damage caused by ski edges. A <strong>high level of waterproofing<\/strong> is also very important. When alpine skiing in particular, you often find yourself sitting in a damp chairlift or leaning against an icy tow bar, for example. If you get a soaking wet bum on the second run, you are bound to wish the ski day had ended by half past nine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breathability<\/strong> is also important. When skiing in spring or ski mountaineering, you get sweaty very quickly. Breathable material and <strong>ventilation zips<\/strong> quickly remedy this. You should also make sure that all <strong>seams are cleanly sewn<\/strong> and <strong>sealed<\/strong> if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-appearance-and-fit\">Appearance and fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another extremely important factor is the fit of the ski trousers. As taste is a personal preference, I won\u2019t go into detail about the different styles here, but there are a few things you should look out for before buying. Alpine skiing as well as freeriding and ski mountaineering require a high degree of physical activity. Therefore, it\u2019s important ski trousers<strong> are not too tight<\/strong> and don\u2019t impair <strong>manoeuvrability<\/strong>. The trousers should also <strong>not be too wide<\/strong>, as they could get in the way when ascending and descending and won\u2019t provide optimal insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone that\u2019s tall and has long legs will know that trouser legs are often too short. If the trousers only reach the calf but are worn with some ski boots, it\u2019s not too serious, but once the preformed knees start to be up near the thigh, the fun stops. Brands such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/mammut\/\">Mammut<\/a>, which offer long-legged versions, offer a glimmer of hope here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ankle-snow-gaiter-waistband-and-suspenders\">Ankle snow gaiter, waistband and suspenders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ski trousers have to fit well. This applies not only to the material, but also to the waistband and the leg ends of the trousers. <strong>Integrated width adjustment<\/strong> or an <strong>integrated belt<\/strong> allow trousers to quickly and easily be adjusted to your personal size. This is particularly useful if you change the number of layers you\u2019re wearing to suit the weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No more builder\u2019s bum! Surely that\u2019s what the inventor of <strong>suspenders<\/strong> had in mind. On ski trousers, these are extremely practical as the trousers are not the lightest and also have to put up with intensive movement and high speeds. Many models have either non-detachable or also <strong>removable<\/strong> suspenders. There are also trousers that come with a fixing option or without any straps. In general, models with straps are preferable, although some women find them annoying. What you ultimately choose is therefore highly dependent on personal preferences as well as comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-6.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"909\" data-id=\"19881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-6.jpg\" alt=\"Buying guide ski trousers - Ventilation zips\" class=\"wp-image-19881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-6.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-6-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-6-768x776.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ventilation zips<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-8.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"901\" data-id=\"19885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-8.jpg\" alt=\"Buying guide ski trousers - Zip closure and snow guard\" class=\"wp-image-19885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-8.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-8-768x769.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zip closure and snow guard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"19889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bergfreunde.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-7.jpg\" alt=\"Buying guide ski trousers - easily accessible pocket\" class=\"wp-image-19889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-7.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/maloja-bunetm-skihose-detail-7-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">easily accessible pocket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more unpleasant than snow in your trouser leg. Since my fabric trouser experience, I\u2019m an expert in this field, so I\u2019d like to advocate for <strong>ankle snow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/gaiters\/\">gaiters<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>integrated gaiters<\/strong> here. Integrated gaiters are usually made of a relatively thin and flexible material. They can be fitted tightly around the ski boot to seal the trousers at the bottom. This means that even on deep snow descents, fine powder snow cannot get into the inside of the trouser leg. When choosing ski trousers you should make sure that the ankle snow gaiter is <strong>big enough<\/strong> so that you can easily <strong>pull it over your ski boots<\/strong>, but at the same time it is tight enough so that it won&#8217;t be immediately pushed upwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pockets\">Pockets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Good ski trousers always have some practical pockets. If you don\u2019t like to travel with a backpack, you should make sure that you can store lots of things in your trouser pockets. However, pockets should not be too bulky or annoying when worn with a jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A good pair of ski trousers are worth their weight in gold when you head out into the snow in winter. (I know what I\u2019m talking about&#8230;). When choosing a pair of trousers, you should pay particular attention to the fit and functionality. They should fit as snugly as possible on the body and keep out cold, wet and snow. If the trousers also have space for a few extras and look good, nothing can stand in the way of a successful day on the slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/ski-trousers\/\">Find ski trousers here&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I\u2019d like to tell you an anecdote.
