Product Insights & Style Tips
The Backcountry Bga Cottonwoods Xpore Shell Pant - Women's runs on a 2-layer Xpore construction and takes a full season of hard use without falling apart. Its membrane is fully seam sealed, solvent-free, and carries no intentionally added PFAS, keeping it waterproof and breathable from resort laps to backcountry approaches. A recycled polyester face fabric and taffeta lining carry that same durability from waist to boot cuff.
The Gearhead experts praise the reinforced Kevlar kick panels, sitting exactly where boots hit hardest, avoiding stiffness in the stride. Stretch boot gaiters with a PFC-free DWR seal out snow, inner thigh vents with mesh lining dump heat fast, and bellowed thigh pockets stay accessible sitting or standing. A built-in belt and hidden snap closure adjust the waist, YKK AquaGuard zippers seal every seam against water, and articulated knees keep the fit comfortable through big moves.
Recycled face and lining skip PFAS, aligning with Backcountry's sustainable ethos. The Cottonwoods Xpore Shell Pant moves from resort laps to backcountry approaches with ease, a versatile base for layering. Price: 399.
