Top 5 Ski Pants for Kids

If you are looking for ski pants for your kids, consider these top 5 options.  Whether you live in an area that gets a lot of snow this time of year, or you’re headed to the ski slopes for a family vacation, of course you want your children to have warm, waterproof ski wear to protect them while they play.  Some of the most trusted names in winter clothing and gear like The North Face and Patagonia offer ski pants for kids that will weather any, well weather!

The North Face Snowdrift Insulated Bib Pants

For full body defense from the elements, try these comfy yet protective ski pants that feature a built in bib attached with shoulder straps.  They are waterproof to prevent snow from coming in contact with the body, but they’re breathable too so your little snow warrior will not get overheated while he or she tackles the bunny slope.  At just over $100, North Face’s insulated pants feature adjustable shoulder straps; when your child grows, it doesn’t mean you need to toss this gear.  While these snow pants offer full protection from the snow and cold, the full front zipper feature allows your child to slip in and out of them easily.  The Snowdrift pant is available in colors like black and pink so you can coordinate with your child’s winter jacket.

Columbia Bugaboo Pants

This Columbia snow pant features suspenders instead of the bib style if you feel that a winter jacket is sufficiently protective for your child’s upper body.  In colors like black, hot pink, turquoise and navy blue, these pants are priced more affordably at around $60.  They are waterproof and breathable with an adjustable waistband that allows for multiple layers to be worn underneath.  For boys or girls these snow pants are a top pick by snow bunnies everywhere.

Patagonia Go-Snow Pant

Patagonia’s Go-Snow pant is similar to the Bugaboo in that it is bib-free.  It is also more expensive, costing around $130.  But, you may get a long life out of this pant, since it features Grow-Fit technology, which increases the length of the pant by 2 inches to allow for your child’s growth.  Of course this pant is waterproof and breathable, but it’s also windproof; in colors like magenta and black the Go-Snow pant is constructed to be compatible with Patagonia winter jackets.

Spyder Mini Tart Pant for Girls

Spyder wins for the best name for its ski pants, but the features are basically the same as the other brands.  Retailing for about $100 and available in toddler sizes, the Mini Tarts come in several colors including dusty pink and bright blue.  They include a fleece-lined bib, grow cuffs, and technology that insulates little snow angels from the cold while still being breathable.

Spyder Mini Expedition Pant for Boys

The Mini Expedition is the more complimentary named boy version of the Tart Pant.  It has similar features such as a fleece-lined bib and protective technology and is available in colors like black with turquoise and black with red.  Priced at $100 as well, your toddler or young child is set for the cold weather in his front yard, or on the slopes!
