Because he doesn't float.
Your brand-new skier doesn't exactly hover over powder—it's more of a turf-and-eat sorta situation, so until he learns to actually ski, outfit him in the Molo Boys' Hover Pro Pant. Its waterproof, breathable protection includes taped seams in critical areas that usually let wetness in. Pair that with the toasty 3M Thinsulate insulation, and you'll never hear him complain about feeling damp and cold. Snow gaiters keep powder out of his boots, and the suspenders are removable if he doesn't like them. Molo reinforced this pant in key areas for long-lasting durability, and reflectors keep him visible when you two are sledding late at night.
