Patagonia Women’s Insulated Powder Town Pants | Short

Warm, Weatherproof, and Made for Shorter Legs

The Patagonia Women’s Insulated Powder Town Pants in Short deliver dependable storm protection and low-bulk warmth without all that extra fabric collecting around your boots. Designed with a 30-inch inseam, this shorter-length ski pant creates cleaner lines and a better fit for women who find standard ski pants too long.

The articulated 2-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell blocks wind and wet snow, while 60-g Thermogreen® recycled insulation adds warmth without making the pant feel stiff or bulky. A smooth taffeta lining slides easily over baselayers, and built-in ventilation lets you release heat when the sun comes out or the skiing gets spicy.

The Bottom Line

The Patagonia Insulated Powder Town Pants | Short are an excellent everyday choice for resort skiers who want warmth, reliable weather protection, and a shorter inseam that actually works with their height. They are technical enough for storm laps, comfortable enough for bell-to-bell skiing, and versatile enough for everything from cold chairlift rides to sunny afternoon cruisers.

If standard ski pants tend to drag, wrinkle, or stack heavily over your boots, this 30-inch version offers a cleaner fit without sacrificing coverage or performance.

Fit Guidelines

These pants have a regular fit designed to accommodate a baselayer while allowing unrestricted movement. Choose your usual Patagonia size for the intended fit. The internal waist tabs can be adjusted for a more secure feel.

The 30-inch inseam is two inches shorter than Patagonia’s regular-length version. Because ski pants need enough length to cover the boot while your knees are flexed, the correct hem may look slightly long when you are standing in regular shoes.

• Do not bleach.
