The U62 pants use the best version of the manufacturer's Dryplay membrane: both the water column and breathability ratings are 20,000. The pants are not padded, but they have Picture Organic's Coremax lining, making them a warmer option than regular shell pants. The I-Fit system, accessible through the pockets, allows you to pull up the pant cuffs, so they dont drag on the ski resort or cabin floor after a day on the slopes, or get caught on touring bindings while climbing uphill. - Regular fit - Hand pockets, thigh pockets, and chest pocket - Adjustable waistband adapts to different thicknesses of base and mid-layers - Adjustable suspenders - Snow gaiters - Reinforced cuffs The outer fabric has a Teflon Ecoelite coating that repels water but does not contain PFC compounds.
