Best Women’s Ski Pants 2015 To conduct our 2015 women’s ski pant test, test director Krista Crabtree used these pants over the entire 2014-15 ski season in Colorado. The pants were compared side by side on a single day skiing the exact same terrain in similar conditions. They were also used at least two other times throughout the remainder of the season. The team compared them side by side rating them on our six main criteria—quality of materials, comfort, warmth, functionality, fit, and value. The Gear Institute Rating is the combined score across all categories, representing the highest overall level of performance. 89 2015 Marmot Women’s Spire Pant The Marmot Spire pant works for various winter activities in… 95 2015 Arc’teryx Azetta Pant The Arc’teryx Azetta is a touring pant perfect for resort … 87 2015 Eider Aoraki Pant The Aoraki Pant is stylish and warm and is perfect for the resort or for shor… 93 20...
