These are the best-selling snow pants "W Alpine Gore-Tex®︎ PANTS" that cover a wide range of snow scenes.
The fabric uses 3L GORE C-KNIT fabric, which has excellent durability and wind resistance, and there is a sense of security that it is protected even in the wind and snow.
The draping on the knees firmly supports the active movement of the lower body. It adopts a snap-in system that can be connected with the set-up W Alpine Gore-Tex®︎ JKT with a snap, and it is also nice that it prevents snow from entering even if you fall hard in powder. With Velcro, you can adjust the waist without a belt and wear it comfortably.
Peak Performance Rider | Ayano Suzuki Wear Review
The area around my shoulders and arms became even more stress-free, and before I knew it, I was sweating really well, so much so that I don't even remember it. This is my personal impression, but the feeling of Gore-tex®︎ used in the Alpine series has completely changed. Anyway, I don't feel stiff when I hike, and I'm so absorbed in the snowy mountains, my line, and my friends who skate with me.
And the number one favorite this time is this pink color and crazy zips!
The light color and zip accents are typical of Peak Performance. By the way, the colors I wore were pink for the jacket and dark brown for the pants. In the middle of the season, I noticed, "This is cherry blossom! It's cherry blossom! " The simple, not-too-thick overall line and the colors that don't overstate the quality. Enjoy your hike and ride with full of energy! Cute and cool adventure!
