Designed for male skiers seeking versatility and comfort in all snow conditions, the VIZIL softshell ski pants from Aulp—a Savoyard brand based in Haute-Savoie—are aimed at all-mountain skiers who want to combine protection, mobility, and warmth for everyday use on the slopes. Their stretchy softshell construction, combined with a waterproof and breathable membrane, makes them a reliable companion in both cold, dry weather and on more active days when temperature regulation is essential. The VIZIL meets the demands of regular skiing on the slopes without sacrificing comfort during a long day.

Protection from the elements: waterproof and windproof membrane

The VIZIL pants feature a 2-layer construction: the softshell outer fabric is directly bonded to the membrane, while a polyester lining completes the design. This membrane offers a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm water column, a level of protection suited to typical winter conditions on the slopes. The softshell’s windproof properties enhance protection against high-altitude gusts. The waterproof zippers on the pants help maintain the integrity of the moisture barrier every time they’re opened—a practical detail that makes a difference during extended outings.

Breathability and Moisture Management

With a breathability rating of 10,000 g/m²/24h, the VIZIL’s membrane allows water vapor produced by physical exertion to escape outward, thereby limiting moisture buildup against the skin. The stretch fabric, made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, also contributes to this thermal management by conforming to the body’s movements without creating areas of compression that could restrict circulation. The microfleece inner lining adds a layer of soft warmth, transforming this ski garment into a standalone piece suitable for the typical sub-zero temperatures found in the mountains during winter.

Freedom of movement and a design tailored for activity

The VIZIL’s relaxed-to-regular fit offers enough room to layer a base layer without restricting movement, while remaining snug enough to prevent excess fabric from bunching up during a series of turns. The pre-shaped knees anticipate the natural bending position on skis or a snowboard, reducing strain on the fabric and helping the pants stay in place. The stretchy fabric enhances this freedom of movement in all directions—a significant advantage during technical sections or on varied terrain.

Practical Features for Everyday Use on the Slopes

The VIZIL ski pants incorporate several features designed to make your day on the slopes easier. Here are the main ones:

• Removable suspenders: allow you to wear the pants with or without suspenders depending on your preferences and conditions.
• Adjustable waist: ensures a personalized fit to prevent the pants from slipping during activity.
• Integrated gaiters and gussets at the bottom of the legs: form an effective barrier against snow seeping in around your ski boots.
• 2 hand-warmer pockets: provide accessible storage for small accessories or for warming your hands during breaks.

The VIZIL softshell ski pants are particularly well-suited for male skiers who regularly ski on the slopes and want a garment capable of handling varied conditions without having to wear multiple layers. Their combination of waterproof protection, moderate breathability, and thermal comfort—thanks to the inner microfleece lining—makes them a solid choice for winter seasons in mid- and high-altitude mountain regions.
