With a full-length side-zip for easy removal or layering, the new Alpha Pant is a clutch piece for frigid resort laps, long sled-skiing days, chilly alpine starts, or relaxing at a backcountry hut. Featuring the lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying Polartec Alpha, the active insulation will maintain critical warmth for your knees and legs without bunching at your boots. Wear these crop pants under (or over) your shell pants for additional comfort and safety on cold days.

Why make a women’s pant that only unzips from the bottom of the legs? These pants are too difficult to pull down for restroom stops. For the price, they should at least have have a double ended zipper.
Thanks so much for the review. We have received similar feedback from some of our athletes and are excited to share that the new 23/24 version will have 2-way zippers!
These pants are great! They’re super functional. Beyond warming up and cooling down for skimo races, they work great for touring, inbounds skinning, and skiing. These pants work well when you need a layer to start off with on a chilly tour, but then want to shed a layer easily. The zips are easy to use and they fit well both under and over shell pants. I frequently use these pants when I meet my kiddos after skinning the resort. I can pull these out of my pack, put them over my Recon pants, and I’m ready to ride chairlifts. I’m on the shorter side, so these hit right above my boots, which works perfectly!
I was excited about these but after wearing them for 6 days the waist band has stretched out and they slip down when I’m walking or skiing. They are warm but completely useless now since they don’t stay up when wearing them. Super bummed.
