First, there’s the fit. Once you try on the Nina Pant, you’ll wonder why you ever settled for ski pants that were too tight, or too loose. These fit just right—relaxed, but not boxy or bulky. They have the perfect balance of stretch and slimness. Then you notice that these are a storm-ready 3-layer Surface hardshell fabric, a 40 Denier fabric that feels light and moves with you. Then you realize the Nina Pant comes with cross flow venting, with 14” outer thigh vents for good measure, ample pockets, and custom fitting in the waist for layering up or slimming down, and you realize what you’ve got here is a pair of pants designed for both the front and the backcountry. A 50/50 versatile shell designed to play hard whether you’re hiking up on skins, or swimming in the powder on the way down. Pants this attractive shouldn’t be built to play this hard, but here we are, with the Nina. For the woman who wants a one and done that covers all the days, from the ones in the woods to the ones on the trail, from the first day of the season to wringing the last run out of a ribbon of snow, the Nina is built for you.
