These kept me warm before and after skiing. We did some boot packing, and I loved the ability to open additional vents for more airflow.

I backed the Kickstart for the 3/4 Tech Pant and they showed up just before our Spring Break trip South to do some mountain biking, camping, and visit the Grand Canyon. I get the award for the first NAR pants to the Grand Canyon! They worked great biking around the Grand Canyon and hiking as well. I though I might get too warm but figured I could unzip the vents if needed, turns out it was cool and windy and I was happy to have these pants. Now that I'm back in the mountains I ready to try them for skiing.

At first I was skeptical about the Tech Pant, but my friend let me wear hers and within the first hour I was converted and ordered my own pair because they really make a difference in temperature control and moveability, and honestly just general comfort. I used them for skiing, and when I told my boyfriend about how awesome they are, he ordered a pair and LOVES them for snowboarding. He got a free hat with his order, which I took because I love the style.

The 3/4 tech pants are awesome. On top of being perfect for skiing, I like wearing them to do anything active in cold weather. The material is very high quality and the design was well thought out. The Jean style front pockets are low key the perfect move for an active pant. My stuff feels more secure in those pockets. Great product!
