Who It's For

The Arctix cargo pants are ideal for casual skiers, snowboarders and winter hikers who prioritize warmth, easy on/off and reinforced ankles for frequent boot contact. They suit those who want dependable weather resistance and a functional pocket layout without investing in high-end race or touring-specific pants.

Also, shoppers sensitive to inconsistent sizing should try before buying or check the inseam options carefully.
