POC Ski Race Shorts are developed for skiers who want to stay warm during training, between runs, or before a race. They are designed to be worn over a speed suit and provide extra protection against the cold without restricting freedom of movement or feeling bulky.
The shorts are made from a durable three-layer softshell material with a water-repellent TPU membrane that withstands moisture equivalent to a 5,000 mm water column. At the same time, the soft fleece interior helps retain heat, making the shorts perfect for cold training days or while waiting at the start.
Thanks to the stretchy material, the shorts follow the body's movements naturally. Additionally, the fit is tailored for a race position, with a slightly lower waist at the front and higher at the back for increased comfort when in a tuck. The adjustable waist and elasticated back also ensure the shorts stay securely in place throughout your session.
The full-length zippers along the legs make it easy to put on and take off the shorts without having to remove your ski boots. The zippers are equipped with large, easy-grip pull tabs that work just as well while wearing gloves. For added durability, reinforced zipper guards protect against wear and impact from slalom gates.
The outer fabric consists of 90% recycled polyester and features a PFAS-free water-repellent treatment. A practical hanging loop also makes the shorts easy to hang up after training or racing.
