Cloudveil Men's Koven Pant

Excellent pants!
I bought the Koven pants at the beginning of this ski season, and I absolutely love them! I have always worn ski bibs, and was looking for another pair of bibs when I saw the Koven pants on the Altrec site. After chatting with an Altrec sales person online, I decided to give these a try, and I am glad I did. These are the most comfortable ski pants I have ever had. They provide as much coverage on the sides and back as any bibs I have had, but are much more flexible and breathable. I was surprised to be able to ski all day in complete comfort in subzero (F) temperature with windchill below -20F, with just a couple base layers under these shell pants. These are a perfect top layer that will accommodate any conditions on the mountain.

So far so good
I started wearing the Koven's a few weeks back. So far so good. I'm using them for lift serve and splitboarding. The vent zips on the side are great for keeping cool while climbing. We will see how the zippers hold up.

Absolutely not wind proof
Light and comfortable pants with moderately slim profile. However they are not suitable for winter sports. Stretch panels around inner thighs and knees are letting even moderate wind through. I was wearing Patagonia Medium weight capilene pants under these Cloudveil pants and my knees and thighs were very cold even though outside temperature was only -5C. Wearing thick windproof fleece under these pants defeats the whole purpose of them, I might as well buy an insulated bib. If not for total lack of wind resistance in stretchy panels these pants would have been my fav.
