The mens Patagonia Rubicon Puff Pants are the hottest freeriding pants this side of an inspiring rodeo 720. Lightweight and supple, they’re insulated against single digit temps with a soft recycled-polyester insulation that’s extremely packable and offers highly efficient warmth. They’re also stormproof, breathable and tough, but not at the expense of mobility. A light lining of recycled taffeta glides over layers without hesitation and wicks away moisture when you’re climbing. Stealthy thigh vents keep air flowing for efficient ventilation, and articulated knees allow physical aerials and edge grabs. Two hand pockets low-slung and angled like those on a pair of jeans warm your hands, while side pockets remain accessible under a hip belt. At the cuffs, full-featured gaiters keep out postholing debris, and burly, wraparound scuff guards protect the bottom hem. With triple-needle stitching at stress points for durability.
