The Patagonia Women’s Stormstride Pants are lightweight waterproof shell pants designed specifically for backcountry skiing and high-output winter travel. Built as Patagonia’s most movement-focused snow shell, the pants emphasize breathability, stretch mobility, and weather protection for ski touring and alpine objectives in variable mountain conditions. The pants use three-layer H2No® Performance Standard fabric made primarily from recycled nylon. This waterproof laminate combines a durable outer face with a breathable membrane and a soft knit backer that improves moisture management during sustained activity. The fabric also incorporates stretch, allowing the pants to move naturally during uphill skinning, climbing, and technical descents. A PFC-free durable water-repellent (DWR) finish helps snow and moisture bead off the surface. Designed for active use in the backcountry, the Stormstride Pants feature outer-thigh ventilation zippers that allow excess heat to escape during intense effort. The slim fit and articulated construction support unrestricted mobility while still leaving room for base layers underneath. Reinforced scuff guards along the inner legs help protect against abrasion from ski edges or crampons. Additional functional details include an adjustable waistband for a refined fit, integrated snow gaiters that seal around ski boots to prevent snow entry, and zippered thigh pockets positioned for easy access while wearing a pack. A concealed RECCO® reflector is integrated for avalanche rescue systems. With its lightweight construction and breathable waterproof fabric, the Stormstride Pants are designed for ski tourers and backcountry riders who prioritize uphill efficiency and dependable storm protection.
