The men's new SWIFTPRO Pant, replacing the former Infuzion II pant, is perfect for a cold weather run or milder days of XC skiing.

Swiftpro is a great single layer mid-weight fabric for chilly, less extreme days, however when worn over light, wicking base layer (like Terramar Thermolator II), it can be used on almost any winter day. Features include side pockets and one small, rear zippered pocket, 2 inch wide, elastic waistband with drawcord and 7 inch ankle zippers. Black. Sizes S-XXL Also Med & Large Short and Med & Large Long. List:$90 SALE:$72 (Infuzion II available in some sizes for sale price of $72).

The 3SP story hasn't changed much; it doesn't need to. 3SP remains one of the best cold weather knits on the market and here's why. Made of 85% polypropylene and 15% spandex, densely woven 3SP is windproof up to 35 mph. It is breathable and moisture wicking. It is not laminated, so perspiration does not build up on the inside. The yarn used in the manufacture of 3SP is the most hydrophobic (water hating) yarn in the world, including naturals fibers. 3SP also dries very fast, even when soaking wet. It is 4 way stretch, with a super soft brushed interior, is durable, snag resistant and very quiet (no swishing sound while skiing). 3SP is definately the fabric of choice for the winter sports enthusiast.

The Men's & Women's XC pant and Women's Traverse II Pant are the pants of choice for many. Whether you're skiing, cycling, cold weather sailing, hiking or traveling, these ultimately useful and comfortable pants will fit your needs. Many people own several pairs of 3SP pants and swear by them, including lots of the crew at XC SKI HQ!!

The Men's XC PANT (loose fitting 3SP stretch pant with tapered leg, side zip pockets and 12” leg zips) List Price:$120 Special SALE:$92 Men's Black sizes S-XXL including Med & Large Longs and Shorts
