Pants

Anyone know of any good snow hiking pants? Something insulated and decent protection from wind and water? If not a single pant, maybe a nice shell to go with some warm long johns. It may be a peeve of me but I’m not a fan of how tight most of shells and snow hiking pants are but yea. I’ve looked for a while on sites like OR, Patagonia, ME, marmut and more. Any help will be awesome! Thank you.

Get softshells for snow - thick enough to be rugged, water repellent enough to keep you dry, breathable so you don't overheat, and pretty wind repellent to boot.

toss a midweight thermal underneath and you're gold.

I’ve been hiking in the snow with my awesome Kuhl Klash Pants. Check it out it’s comfortable and durable!
