These pants deliver top-tier weather protection and a superb, close-to-the-skin fit, with a comfortable fleece-brushed liner. They ventilate well for uphill travel and pair nicely with layering for backcountry or resort skiing, though they come at a premium price and have a lean feature set.

Pros

  • +Immaculate weather protection
  • +Excellent fit
  • +Fleecy lining

Cons

  • -Expensive
  • -Light on features

Summary

The Arc'teryx Sabre Pant is a high-end Gore-Tex shell ski pant, uninsulated with a light flannel backer, designed for resort and backcountry use. It offers fortress-like waterproofing, good breathability, and a durable, minimalist build, though fit can be polarizing and the price is high.

Pros

  • +Great balance of protection and breathability.
  • +Thin flannel backer paired with leg vents enables adaptable temperature regulation.
  • +Minimalist design focuses on essentials and suits both resort and backcountry use.

Cons

  • -Tight waist fit limits comfort for a broader range of body types.
  • -High price relative to competitors with similar features.
  • -Fit can be polarizing; some testers found the waist/crotch geometry awkward and may require trying multiple sizes.
