Water resistance of ski pants

Depending on the conditions you expect, you can choose different levels of waterproofness. Pants with low waterproof ratings are usually lightweight and inexpensive, perfect if you are looking at park sessions or a few late-season runs. Intermediate waterproofs, between 10k and 20k, are the ideal range for truly full pants. Above 20k these are truly top products for intensive use. These top pants are often combined with great breathability of the fabric; skiers, freeriders and athletes will really appreciate these pants.
