Snowboarding pants are a critical component of your snowboarding gear, providing warmth, dryness, and comfort while protecting you from collisions, scratches, and other external elements. Like a leopard, you're skiing like you are predating.
Key Features and Benefits
Waterproof and Windproof Functionality
The pants utilize fully TPU laminated outer fabrics and synthetic padding to ensure waterproof, windproof, and breathable functionality, keeping you warm and dry in challenging weather conditions. Our performance fabric 2-layer laminated shell fabric offers superior waterproofing and breathability with a super tough woven outer and our 20k/15k membrane. The entire jacket is fully seam taped.
Waterproof performance is measured by the number of millimeters of water column per square centimeter that can withstand water seepage for one hour. Snowboard pants typically have a waterproof rating ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 mm.
Breathability
When it comes to breathability, it's crucial for the fabric to disperse sweat and prevent moisture buildup.
Flexibility and Comfort
Zipper adjuster at leg opening and lycra at waist increases flexibility. The AMF Riding Pant is built for riders who demand freedom of movement and weather protection. The 2-layer waterproof shell, articulated knees, and thigh vents offer optimal performance, while the baggy fit allows for easy layering. Cargo and handwarmer pockets provide storage for essentials, and the elastic hem and DWR-coated boot gaiter ensure snow stays out.

Layering for Optimal Performance
It's recommended to wear a base layer under your snowboard pants. Optimal comfort, warmth, and moisture management are key factors to keep in mind. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer made of breathable and quick-drying materials such as polyester or merino wool. These fabrics will efficiently pull sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout your riding session.
Snowboard Bibs: An Alternative
With their higher waistline and bib design, snowboard bibs offer increased coverage, effectively keeping snow out and ensuring a drier and more comfortable ride. The secure fit provided by adjustable suspenders or straps prevents the need for constant readjustments, allowing for a distraction-free experience. Their stylish and trendy appearance adds to their appeal, making them a popular choice among snowboarders. Choose snowboard bibs for optimal comfort, protection, and style on the slopes.
Sizing Guide
For alpha sizes - use the waist and hip measurement as a guide to help pick the right size. If you find you are between sizes, think about what activities you would be doing and order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your waist and hip measurements correspond to two different sizes, order to fit your hip measurement. For numeric sizes - Use your waist as a guide.
