Horsefeathers Nelson Pants - Men's ski pants

The Nelson Pants from Horsefeathers are specifically designed for demanding ski touring and freeskiing activities. With a water column rating of 20,000 mm, these men’s pants offer excellent protection against the elements and keep you dry even in extreme conditions. Thanks to fully taped seams, water penetration is reliably prevented, making them the ideal choice for experienced skiers and snowboarders venturing off-piste.

Made from durable nylon, these pants combine comfort and functionality in a regular-fit design. The extremely durable YKK zippers ensure long-lasting use and are a hallmark of the high quality of the Nelson Pants. The “Snag-Free” mesh ventilation panels provide additional breathability and prevent the zipper from catching on the fabric, which significantly enhances freedom of movement.

Another highlight is the C0 surface treatment, which repels water and allows it to bead up and roll off the surface. This technology ensures that the fabric stays dry without compromising functionality. The combination of innovative technologies and high-quality materials makes the Nelson Pants an indispensable companion for freeski enthusiasts.

Technologies and manufacturing processes

WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE ULTRATECH® RECYCLED MATERIAL
The second generation of UltraTech Recycled was developed in collaboration with Taiwanese manufacturers who specialize in technical fabrics and yarns. To preserve the core properties of the outer fabric, this fabric is made from 50% recycled polyester—derived from used PET bottles—and 50% virgin polyester.
EXTREMELY DURABLE YKK ZIPPERS
These extremely durable, user-friendly, and high-quality zippers are currently the global leaders in the functional apparel category.
C0 SURFACE TREATMENT
It repels water by causing it to bead up and roll off the surface, thereby preventing it from penetrating the fabric. As a PFC-free alternative, it breaks down naturally and helps prevent the long-term accumulation of harmful chemicals in the environment, in waterways, and in the food chain—while maintaining consistent, reliable functionality and performance.
FULLY TAPED SEAMS
Seams are the areas where water is most likely to penetrate the product. That’s why we’ve sealed all seams with a special waterproof tape. This technology, combined with UltraTech®️ materials, offers you maximum protection against moisture in even the most demanding conditions.
"SNAG-FREE" MESH VENTS
Adjustable ventilation openings with mesh. "Snag-Free" technology prevents the zipper from catching on the fabric when you move.
