Built with finding flow in mind, the Pure focuses on the essentials to give us distraction-free performance as we venture into the backcountry, breaking free from the day's demands. Before taking to the skintrack, we clip and zip our beacon into its pocket and open the outer-thigh vents. The relaxed fit gives our hips full range for kick turns, while the reinforced cuffs offer protection against our skis' sharp edges. As we shred through our hard-earned powder, the GORE-TEX membrane stops spray from soaking through, keeping us comfortably dry for another lap.
