Nordic skiing's generally renowned for being freezing, but warmer winter and spring days happen, too, and then you're better off with lighter weight gear like the Swix Star XC Women's Pant. It's made of light but sturdy polyester microfiber that's been finished with a water repellent DWR coating and decked out with key stretch panels and a stretch mesh lining to wick moisture and prevent sweat from building up. Articulated knees help you move from classic to double poling to V1 to V2 without cramping your style, and the elastic waist and cuffs keep snow and drafts from sneaking up and down your legs. If you take the Star out for a run, the reflective details will help you be seen, and the hand and waistband pockets will keep energy gels, keys, and a phone within easy reach.
