Colourwear Cork Pants Women's Deep Cherry AW25

The Cork Pants are built for women who ski and snowboard hard across all terrain. They combine serious weather protection—10,000 mm waterproofing and 10,000 g/m²/24h breathability with sealed, taped seams—with a sleek silhouette that flatters while you work. The 2-layer Pinetech shell is 100% recycled polyester with a PFAS-free Bionic Finish Eco DWR, and the lining and padding are also recycled.

Why we rate it

They're designed for committed riding. Articulated knees let you move naturally on steep slopes and through trees. Mesh-lined zippers with zipped inner-thigh vents mean you can dump heat on warmer days or lift chairsbefore a long descent, without undressing. The waist is fleece-lined with elastic and velcro tabs for a custom fit over layers, and snow gaiters with non-slip cuffs and zipper adjustment at the hem keep snow out on deep powder days.

Construction is considered: seams are sealed, pockets are well-placed (two zippered front pockets, one back pocket with velcro), and the fit model reference (Julia, 170 cm tall, 58 kg, wearing size S) gives you a real sense of how they'll sit. They're rated 4/5 for waterproofness, breathability, wind-proofing and durability, with warmth at 3/5—so layer underneath on really cold days.

Who it's for

Women skiers and snowboarders of any ability who spend long days on piste, in glades, in the park or mixing all of it. The sleek fit suits a contoured figure; the inseam range covers most heights.

Fit and feel

The Cork Pants are contoured through the waist and seat for a sleek silhouette. Size M measures 87 cm at the waist, 110 cm at the seat, with an 82 cm inseam. They come in XS through XL. The fit is described as sleek rather than roomy, so choose your true size for the contoured cut to work.

From the shop floor: Re-impregnate with fresh DWR after every few washes to keep the water beading off. Don't use softener, and wash separately.
