The Volcom Karat Stretch 30K Pants are like the gold standard of storm gear, except way comfier and you don’t have to mine them out of a river. With 30K waterproofing, fully taped seams, and 4-way stretch, they’ll move with you whether you’re sending cliffs, venting steam on the skintrack, or just dramatically strutting through the lift line like it’s a runway. As a bonus, the triple reinforced rise means you can take a tumble and still come out shining, because even Karats bounce back.
