Whats the difference between ski pants and snowboard pants? can i use ski pants for snowboarding?

Question

i only have ski pants

Answer 1

no difference..of coarse you can use ski pants for snowboarding.

such a silly question =D

Answer 2

yeah u can, its all brand and style mainly, sometimes different padding

Answer 3

I think the main difference is aesthetic.  They're both warm and waterproof so there's no real difference.  Board pants might be a bit thicker but it's not important.

I wore cheap rain pants to the mountain with no problems.

Answer 4

Typically snowboard pants have more style and room... you will see most young skiers - especially freestyle - in snowboard clothing these days.  They want to look good too.

Answer 5

padding

Answer 6

theyre pretty much the same except that boarder pants are baggier and r more stylish. rock the plaid

Answer 7

ski pants have a higher waist. snowboard pants are a little baggier and have a lower rise. you could use ski pants for boarding cause there isn't a huge difference.

Answer 8

I don't think there is a difference. I ski A LOT. Snowboard pants just tend to be thicker sometimes, but it really doesn't matter. You can use either or, they should be just referred to as "snow pants"
