2011 OAKLEY KARN Men's SKI PANT: Sometimes we pity the original founding fathers of winter sports because it took technology so long to catch up to performance. They never had a comfortably lightweight shell pant that could keep water out without locking in sweat. The Oakley KARN SNOW PANT does it with ease, and the durable design can take whatever you dish out. If reaching the run means hiking the hill, you can open the vents so you won’t overheat. Boot gaiters seal out powder when you launch into the unknown. The waistband adjusts with tabs, and silicone keeps it in place. Technology has finally caught up to performance. And performance is pushing past possibility.
