Could these pants be worn for downhill skiing, as a top layer?

I bought them specifically as some "cheap" snow pants. We were visiting family in Chicago, and were going to go sledding. we were only out for an hour, and they didn't really keep snow out, especially the pockets, which means your top layer doesn't keep you dry and I would expect you'd eventually get cold. They worked short term, but I wouldn't use them to ski

I think so. and I never practiced this sport, but the pants in general is comfortable and lightweight. As upper layer was very useful

Yes. But it should only be the pants you wear. The pants are lined. So long johns and these pants would be fine.

NO! They are way too thin for that. They will help, and will keep the wind off, but anything cooler than 65 and you will be cold. You CAN use them as a layer. It takes a little work, but under my 3/2 they work fine.

It really depends on the pants. I've worn them under sweatpants, but I think jeans would be tight.

Umm, can't answer 100% as I purchased for my g/son for my daughter. He loves them..I do remember that the snow did not ride up his pants as they are cuffed elastic inside at the ankle. Then top layer goes to top of boots. An excellent purchase, excellent quality..hope that helped..

They breath a little to well for weather below 60. Below 40 and you wear them under your uniform pants ;-). But Yes you could wear them outside inthe winter. They do not repel water and It would be a poor choice, but you migth be one of those people who run hot.

I don't know why it couldn't. Our 4 grand children ages 8-12 wore them skiing last year. I'm fixing to order two more for skiing. I would highly recommend them

If very cold, no. Just not warm enough. I feel you need something that is fleece inside and out to stay warm enough. Having camped in very, very, icy weather in Colorado mountains, I'd suggest a fleece pant. These aren't that warm and the air will go through the knit.

I would just have a fleece single layer on these. I would not put anything thicker as the heat from these have to penetrate through whatever you put on there.

If you are skiing in a dry climate, i.e. "powder" conditions in the rockies or the sierra's, they might work; however I wouldn't trust them in east coast conditions as they fog up VERY quickly..

I believe they would work well for skiing, they are thicker than standard thermal underwear, without being bulky. I think the activity statement pertains to construction or building trades.

They are a very relaxed fit. I would say they are more like snowboarding pants, with a loose fit through the legs. however, they are still comfortable and suitable for skiing or snowboarding.

I would say yes. These are some of the thinnest knee pads I've ever owned and they still protect great. If your work pants are on the baggier side you'll be fine. If you weren't looking specifically for hardshell pads, then a thinner option would be volleyball pads, but these are the thinnest hardshells I've owned and they saved my knees a hundred times while snowboarding.

Probably. They fit well under most pants. Worth a little bulge for the protection.

I bought these pants in the summer and they have done well on cool mornings until fall. I would not consider them winter pants. I have been camping with them and put them on in the morning and that was ok. It really depends a lot on your personal preferences.

They are quite thin. I was happy in the mountains in spring, but they won't work for a winter hike. They are loose fitting but not baggy - underarmor would probably be fine, but nothing bulkier than that.

I have always worn this under my ski pants. The shock doctor has adjustability with the straps so I am confident it could be worn over thin material.

Yes, you sure can. These pants have elastic in the waistband so it shouldn't be a problem.
