Spyder Men’s Taos Shell Pants

The Spyder Men’s Taos Shell Pants are high-performance, uninsulated shell ski pants built with EXO SHIELD™ 30K 4-way stretch fabric, 30K/20K waterproof-breathable protection, and removable suspenders—made for skiers who want serious storm performance and race-inspired style from first chair to last.

Why You’ll Love the Taos Shell Pants

• Elite 30K/20K protection: EXO SHIELD™ 30K with a 30K/20K laminate shrugs off heavy snow and wet chairlift rides while still breathing when you’re charging hard, bootpacking, or lapping storm days.
• 4-way stretch comfort: The 100% recycled polyester 4-way stretch plain-weave shell moves naturally with every turn, absorbing big movements without feeling stiff or restrictive.
• Fully seam sealed: All seams are taped for maximum waterproofing, so you’re protected when the forecast calls for “mixed precipitation” and you stay out anyway.
• True shell versatility: With no built-in insulation, you can fine-tune your layering—run light baselayers for spring laps or heavier midlayers when temps dive.
• Removable suspenders: Adjustable suspenders with silicone gripper elastic keep the pants perfectly in place when you want them, and come off in seconds when you don’t.
• On-demand venting: A thigh ventilation system with YKK® zippers lets you dump heat fast on long traverses, hike-to terrain, and warm bluebird days.
• Dialed, adjustable waist: An adjustable stretch waist with belt loops gives you a secure, custom fit whether you prefer a belt, suspenders, or both.
• Articulated for skiing: Articulated knee construction follows the natural bend of your legs, reducing bunching and improving mobility in aggressive stances.
• Boot-ready cuffs: Reinforced scuff guards around the hem protect against sharp ski edges, while inner snow gaiters with gripper elastic seal over your boots to keep snow out.
• PFAS-free & recycled: The shell is made from 100% recycled polyester and treated with PFAS-free DWR for top-end performance with a cleaner materials story.

Ideal For

The Taos Shell Pants are ideal for intermediate to expert skiers who want a dedicated shell bottom for resort and sidecountry use. If you like to ski hard, prefer to manage warmth with layers, and want pants that match the performance of a 30K/20K shell jacket, these are built for you.
