Puffy pants, a truly under appreciated piece of winter gear. Wear them under your snowpants for bitter cold days on the hill or slip them on after a long day of skiing and luxuriate in lower body warmth while sipping a tasty apres cocktail. So choice!
Awesome…yes. Affordable…depends. There are tons of options for puffy pants on the market and for a quality pair don’t be surprised if you have to cough up $200+ (thats a lotta guac).
If you don’t wanna spend a ton and are handy with a sowing machine consider upcycling an old sleeping bag you have in your attic or heading down to GoodWill to see if you can pick one up on the cheap.
Here’s a quick overview of the process from FRN Collective out of Salt Lake City who make some really sweat hand sown gear that gets sold out in flash. They restock every Saturday so if you want to pick something up make sure to be at your keyboard this weekend. Excellent ski-centric small business. They rule.
