The Airblaster Contrast 2027 is a fully seam-sealed shell pant built for riders who need real storm protection without sacrificing mobility or style. Designed around Airblaster's Baggy Plus fit, it's aimed at skiers and snowboarders who spend long days in variable, heavy conditions and want a pant that keeps up — with a throwback aesthetic to match.
The shell delivers 15,000mm waterproofing with full seam taping and 10,000g/m² breathability backed by zippered mesh inner leg vents. The main fabric is a midweight Oxford construction, reinforced with Stretch Canvas at the seat, knee, and lower rear kick patch for durability where it counts. A PFC-free DWR treatment keeps water beading off the surface, and YKK zippers run throughout. The waistband adjusts via hook-and-loop and elastic tabs, the lower legs cinch down with an optional hidden drawcord and silicone grip strip, and elastic gaiters with a lace hook complete the seal against the elements.
The Contrast pant suits riders who want genuine foul-weather capability in a relaxed, high-freedom silhouette. The reinforced stretch panels at the seat and knees mean you can session all day without the pant wearing out or wearing you down. If you're regularly riding in heavy snowfall or wet spring conditions, this is a pant built to match that commitment.
