Ah, winter! You’ve probably prepared most of your wardrobe for the inevitable arctic blasts already, whether you've invested in warm winter coats, winter hats, toasty winter gloves, or snow boots to keep your extremities protected from the chill. But if you’re into winter activities like snowboarding, skiing, and tubing, you’re also going to want a go-to pair of snow pants to keep your legs as warm and as functional as possible. They certainly also come in handy when you’re digging out of a snowstorm, too!

If you’re wondering what the difference is between snow pants and ski pants: In general, snow pants have a roomier leg to allow more movement, while ski pants are a bit narrower to keep your legs snug and warm. But unless you are super avid in one particular sport, they can easily be interchangeable depending on what you feel most comfortable in. We even found a hybrid pant that works well if you just want one pair no matter if you're hiking, hitting the slopes, or trying your hand at ice fishing.

The best snow pants for women are all made of synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon, which are considered the best materials because they are lightweight and durable. But they all vary in terms of insulation and waterproof coatings, so there will be a pair suited best for your needs. Either way, if you’re wondering what to wear under snow pants once you select a pair, opt for something that will absorb and wick away moisture. Skip the jeans and go for long underwear, sweatpants, or warm leggings instead. Then it's happy winter trails to you!

If you want a warm pair of pants without a higher price point, try Arctix. They are 100% polyester with light ThermaTech insulation to keep you warm in temperatures as low as -20°F without weighing you down. They have boot zippers and gaiters to make it easy to keep your feet in and the snow out.

If you face extreme weather conditions, go for an option designed for extra warmth. The Bugaboo has Omni-Heat thermal technology on the inside and is seam-sealed waterproof on the outside, so your legs will stay warm and dry no matter what.

If you like to do practically everything outdoors but only want one pair, go for a hybrid pant like this. It has a slim leg with added stretch, so it's perfect for hiking and camping. But it's waterproof and windproof, too, so you can definitely wear them on the slopes.

This pair will keep you warm and dry no matter the climate, thanks to the waterproof shell and Heatseeker Eco insulation. Details like articulated knees for mobility and venting systems at the thighs and ankles make these perfect for outdoor sports like skiing and snowboarding. There are also 11 color options and expanded size ranges, so they will fit your taste and your body.

The best pants also make the best bibs! Get the same amazing details as the Freedom pant but with the added body protection and security of the bib. The adjustable straps and belt loops ensure that you'll get the best fit for your silhouette.

Most snow pants are baggy, but they don't have to be! Roxy makes a cute fitted pair that hugs your curves where you want but leaves space where you need it (like the leg opening for your boots!). They are also waterproof, windproof, and warmly insulated.

If you're really into outdoor sports and want to invest in a high-quality pair of pants, then opt for Patagonia. It's made of recycled waterproof taffeta that's specifically treated to shed snow quickly and keep you extra dry. The insulation (also recycled!) will keep you warm, too, so you can stay outside for hours.
