Patagonia Women's Insulated Snowbelle Pants

These warm insulated pants revel in the motion and cadence of freeriding and slopestyle, providing unsurpassed storm protection for riding the mountain in all conditions.

These insulated pants serve notice to the fickle weather of Mount Snow that you're here to stay. Supple and warm, they keep the heat turned up with a compressible layer of stay-warm-when-wet Thermogreen® insulation. It's held in place with an internal lining of soft taffeta for wickability and a smooth glide. The durable shell is made from a 2-layer, 150-denier 100% polyester fabric with a waterproof/breathable H2No® barrier and a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish for bomber storm performance. Thigh vents act like thermostats to control your inner temperature; they're mesh-lined to keep snow out. The cuffs have burly scuff guards and internal gaiters. Soft, brushed tricot lines the internally adjustable waist that has loops on the rear yoke seam (that connect to the powder skirt on all Patagonia® Ski/Snowboard jackets). Two pockets in front, two in back and one on the thigh (with an integrated pass holder) hold the little things in life. With a feminine silhouette.

Recycled Polyester: To Patagonia, quality means more than how a garment looks or functions: It also includes the way it affects the environment and quality of life. This means working to source materials and develop processes that minimize damage to the environment. In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people’s health. Over the course of 13 years, we saved some 86 million soda bottles from the trash heap. That’s enough oil to fill the 40-gallon gas tank of the diminutive Chevy Suburban 20,000 times. Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene baselayers, shell jackets and board shorts, as well as fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and worn out garments into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes. We've also started the world's first garment recycling program – bring us your old, worn-out Capilene baselayer, Patagonia fleece or Polartec® fleece (from any maker) and we'll make a new polyester garment from it using an innovative process developed by our friends at TEJIN. Benefits of recycled polyester: Lessens dependence on oil Curbs discards, thereby prolonging landfill life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators Helps to promote a new recycling stream for polyester clothing that is no longer wearable Creates less air, water and soil contamination
