REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Snowboarding Shell Pants + Base Layer= Warm Enough? + More

I just bought a pair of Burton Pointer Pants. It's a mid fit: similar to loose jean fit and they are marketed as waterproof, 10000 breathability, 10000mm waterproof.

I'm mainly boarding in GVA so I'm wondering if these pants would be ok to wear all season long on the slopes. Ofcourse i know i would need a base layer. I'm looking into a Under Armour 3.0 Cold Gear.

Would this be enough for boarding all season? Would i need a mid-layer aswell?

I thought about buying the North Face Hy-Vent Freedom Insulated pants but i would have to get the leg cuffs shortened by 2". Just don't know if its worth it or not.

Thanks guys,
