SKI PANTS 20K

The Watts X-JAPAN ski pants are men's pants designed for riders looking to combine urban style with technical performance on the slopes. Designed for demanding slopes, freeriding, and park tricks, they’re ideal for riders who don’t want to choose between freedom of movement and protection from winter conditions. Their loose fit and bold design give them a distinctive look, without ever sacrificing the features that matter most on the mountain. The Watts X-JAPAN offers a level of protection and breathability rarely found in this price range, thanks to a high-performance technical membrane.

Extreme protection: 20K membrane and fully waterproof construction

At the heart of the Watts X-JAPAN is the 4-Stretch Dupore-X® membrane, a textile technology that combines high levels of waterproofing and breathability. With a water column rating of 20,000 mm, the pants withstand the wettest conditions, whether it’s heavy snow in the valley or freezing rain at high altitudes. Fully heat-sealed seams eliminate the usual weak points found in textile construction, preventing any water from seeping in at the seams. Waterproof zippers complete this all-around waterproofing, ensuring consistent protection across the entire pant, including at the ventilation openings.

Active breathability for intense sessions

High waterproofing is only beneficial if it’s accompanied by effective moisture management. The Dupore-X® membrane offers a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24h, allowing water vapor generated by physical exertion to escape outward without letting outside moisture seep in. For rapid, consecutive descents or intense park sessions, discreet vents are integrated into the pants, providing targeted fresh airflow as soon as internal heat builds up. This combination of a breathable membrane and active ventilation maintains stable thermal comfort, whether you’re on the move or standing still in the cold.

Freedom of Movement and Everyday Practicality

The X-JAPAN’s loose fit meets the needs of riders who transition between low stances, landing jumps, and traversing powder. The stretch fabric and the 4-Stretch Dupore-X® membrane work together so the fabric moves with you effortlessly. The adjustable waist allows you to customize the fit based on the layers worn underneath. Several features enhance everyday performance on the slopes:

• Integrated snow gaiters: They secure around the boot to prevent snow from getting into the pants during off-piste traverses.
• Reinforcements at the bottom of the legs: These protect areas subject to repeated friction from edges and bindings, extending the pants’ lifespan.
• Discreet vents: easily accessible, they allow you to regulate your temperature without interrupting your run.
• Adjustable waist: It adapts to different layers of base clothing depending on the day’s conditions.

The Watts X-JAPAN ski pants are designed for men who ski both on the slopes and in freeride terrain and who are looking for gear capable of withstanding long days, changing conditions, and the technical demands of park tricks. With ski apparel featuring a 20K membrane, heat-sealed seams, and a loose, stretchy fit, it’s a solid choice for the entire winter season, from the first snows of November to the last runs of spring.
