The Patagonia Men’s Stormstride Pants are lightweight waterproof shell pants designed for backcountry skiing and high-output winter travel. Built for ski touring and alpine movement, the pants emphasize breathability, stretch mobility, and weather protection, allowing users to stay comfortable during sustained uphill effort and variable mountain conditions. The pants use three-layer H2No® Performance Standard fabric made primarily from recycled nylon. This waterproof laminate combines a durable face fabric with a breathable membrane and a soft knit backer that improves moisture management against the skin. The fabric also incorporates mechanical stretch, which allows the pants to move naturally during skinning, climbing, or scrambling. A PFC-free durable water-repellent (DWR) finish helps shed snow and light precipitation. The Stormstride Pants are designed with touring efficiency in mind. Articulated knees support unrestricted movement during long ascents, while outer-thigh ventilation zips allow excess heat to escape during intense activity. The streamlined cut reduces bulk while still leaving room for base layers underneath. Durability features include reinforced panels along the lower legs to protect against ski edges and boot abrasion. The pants also include integrated snow gaiters that seal around ski boots to prevent snow from entering during deep powder conditions. Additional features include zippered pockets for storing small essentials and a hidden RECCO® reflector for avalanche rescue compatibility. Overall, the Stormstride Pants are designed for backcountry skiers and ski tourers who prioritize lightweight waterproof protection, ventilation, and mobility during long days in the mountains.
