Picture Exa Pants

The Exa Pants are women's ski pants built for varied snow conditions with a focus on sustainable materials. Picture has used circular polyester made from recycled textile waste for the shell, combined with a 20K/20K membrane for reliable waterproofing and breathability. The two-layer construction includes 40 g/m² of recycled thermal insulation and a 100 g/m² Coremax tricot lining.

Why we rate it

The 20K waterproofing sits at the practical middle ground—solid enough for most days on the mountain, responsive enough if you're moving hard. Thigh vents with waterproof zips let you dump heat without letting snow in when you're working. The straight cut through the hip and thigh means they move with you without excess fabric, and snap buttons at the hem make it easy to adjust fit over boots. Snow gaiters and an elasticated snow skirt keep the slush out.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders who want hardwearing, all-day pants without the price tag of maximum tech. The straight fit suits most leg shapes; the insulation level handles cold days and keeps you warm during sustained activity.
