Traditional waterpoof/breathable hard shell ski touring pants just won't make the grade once April rolls around and the mercury spikes above zero (Celsius for our American readers). I have found that a good quiver of ski pants tailored to the weather will get you through the season much more comfortably than a single hardshell. There is nothing worse than toiling away on the up track on a spring blue bird day with all your vents wide open and you are still getting roasted from the inside out due to your hard shells just not breathing enough. Fair enough, these things have limits. Enter the Sawtooth soft shell pant from Rab. The Sawtooth Pants are a lightweight double-weave soft shell pant ideal for spring ski touring conditions however, they are not so ski-style specific that you can't be right at home hiking, camping or wearing them around town.
