The Patagonia Powder Bowl Pants are a well-made pair of ski pants that are comfortable and durable. They are made with a GORE-TEX fabric and have all the bells and whistles you expect from high-end ski pants.
They have excellent ventilation and can be used in various conditions. They can also be worn with a jacket for extra warmth and comfort.
Comfort
A combination of tough polyester GORE-TEX fabric, articulated patterning, and a 28,000mm waterproof rating gives these pants excellent weather protection. Patagonia also uses a durable DWR finish and robust scuff guards along the legs to withstand heavy use.
The Powder Bowl Pants are an excellent choice for skiers of all skill levels. Their slim fit is comfortable without feeling flimsy, and their articulated knees allow plenty of movement on the slopes.
They’re also easy to clean and care for, so you don’t have to worry about scuffs or rips while you’re on the slopes. And with Patagonia’s repair policy in place, they can be fixed quickly and easily if they get a hole or abrasion.
Comfortable, durable, and backed by Patagonia’s repair policy, the Powder Bowl Pants are an excellent choice for any skier. They’re a good value, too.
Durability
If you’re looking for a pair of durable ski pants that can take a beating, the Patagonia Powder Bowl Pants are one of your best options. They are well-built and fit like a dream.
They are made with a tough 2-layer GORE-TEX fabric and blend 60 g and 100 g Thermogreen insulation, providing waterproof/breathable and windproof protection that’s tough enough for year-round resort use.
The material is also designed to be incredibly durable, and it shows very little wear after a season of regular use. There are no rips or tears, and the zippers operate smoothly.
In addition, Patagonia has an excellent repair policy that makes it easy to fix up your gear so you can get back out and enjoy the mountain. This helps ensure you’re never without good ski pants on your next trip.
Mobility
Patagonia Powder Bowl Pants are built with sturdy fabric and strategically placed insulation for rugged, long-wearing, waterproof/breathable/windproof protection that doesn’t compromise mobility or weight. The durable, 2-layer GORE-TEX material, made of tenacious 100% recycled polyester, provides waterproof/breathable/windproof protection, and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish stops moisture and wet snow and increases abrasion resistance. Strategically placed, body-mapped 60-g Thermogreen recycled insulation traps your heat (even if wet) and dries quickly for unmatched performance in any condition.
They also feature articulated knees for mobility, a smooth polyester-taffeta lining throughout the legs to wick moisture, grown-on belt loops, and a zip fly. For safety, there’s an embedded RECCO avalanche rescue reflector. Other details include watertight coated zippers with slim zip installation to reduce bulk and weight, mesh-lined thigh vents to off-load heat, an integrated gaiter, and brutal scuff guards.
Warmth
The Patagonia Powder Bowl Pants are an excellent choice for those who want a warm pair of pants to ski in. They’re insulated and have a durable 2-layer GORE-TEX shell built to last.
The Insulated Powder Bowls also feature valuable features like internal gaiters, a RECCO avalanche reflector, and scuff guards inside the legs. They’re also water-resistant and feature a taffeta lining to keep you dry.
As with all Patagonia gear, these pants are well-made and designed to last through a lot of wear and tear. The 150-denier Gore-Tex material and robust scuff guards keep these pants looking new even after years of use.
