The Obermeyer Force Short Pants are a worthy force against Mother Nature’s mood swings. With 15K/15K waterproofing, they’ll keep your buns drier than a stand-up comedian’s sense of humor, while the 40g insulation ensures you feel like you’re sitting by the aprs-ski fireplace while your riding the chair. Loaded with handy features like ventilation zips (for when you’re cooking on the moguls) and reinforced knees (for those “unexpected sit-downs”), these pants are ready to roll with whatever the mountain dishes out.
