Snowpants are a marketing gimmick

Thread title pretty much says it all. Snowpants are unnecessary. I can understand needing them for skiing pow, but other than that, what is the purpose? they arent usually insulted, so they arent providing any additional warmth compared to jeans or khakis. i think companies invented them simply to generate a profit and now everybody wears them just because its the norm on a ski mountain. The truth of the matter is that snow pants are unnecessary, ugly, bulky, and unnecessary. Think about it. you dont wear snow pants out on the town, to work, or to the grocery store..so why do you wear them while skiing? its not like youre rolling around in the snow, and unless you eat shit constantly, theres no functional purpose to using a water resistant pant. I havent worn them in years, and it feels great. i just throw off my skis and boots, put on my shoes, and im good to go. no difference between on and off hill transition. plus, snowpants are usually so baggy, and we all can agree that style is fugly.

check out my videos for reference.

You have just insulted them.

But….you can't be serious. I like wind resistance when it's 0 degrees and I am going like 50mph. My fucking balls would FREEZE OFF if I was wearing jeans.
 
Totally agree with op. I've started wearing jeans over my hockey pads and it's just amazing. I also switched all my bathing suits with sweatpants because bathing suits are basically the same thing with the legs cut off and made with a different fabric.
 
You know what? Now that I have thought about it why am I even wearing a coat? I already have a ton of T-Shirts so I'm gonna just start wearing those. Fuck. I just realized skis are pointless too! I have a pair if ice skates and they are practically the same thing at least on the east coast, and what the hell is the point of a house when I already own a car and a tent?

has everyone already forgot that max hill and rob huele both used to wear jeans when they were shredding. but straight up im like 50/50 on the subject, ive skied in jeans just wear underarmour under them and actually pull that shit over your boots and its not that big a deal but for the most part snowpants are the bees knees.
 
Were you dropped as an infant or something? They most definitely provide warmth, I wear basketball shorts under my ski and never get cold.
 
Would you wear rain pants on a hike if it was sunny outside? nope. same thing applies with snow pants. if the weather is not inclement, snow pants are meaningless.

#cantarguewiththat
 
I'm not the only one! shorts under your ski pants is the best way to go.. No pants or shit bunching up above your ski boots and around your knee, and super comfy.

Anyway. OP is one of the most dedicated trolls on this site I've seen. Congrats
 
Maybe he's so good he never falls and doesn't realize that the weird white stuff we ski on is snow and is wet!! if I stopped crashing I could ditch the snow pants and ride in jeans like my granddaddy does.
 
Ahahahahaha can't say I agree OP. In fact, I completely disagree. But, I fucking love the way you ski so it's okay.
 
tomorrow's forecast for my resort is 6-10 inches of new snow. high near 14 with wind chill values as low as -25 at the summit. i'll wear snowpants thanks.
 
He is what urban dictionary calls a

Dickweed

1) A completely self-absorbed, useless asshole with shit for brains;

2) A person so irredeemably stupid that their idiotic behavior causes pain to everyone that they interact with.

jeans are not practical for most dickweed.
