It’s the middle of fall, but if you’re a skier or snowboarder, you’re probably already dreaming about the first big snowstorm of winter and the fresh powder you’ll get to shred this season. But wait—is your winter gear ready to go? When it comes to snowsports apparel, few items are more critical than a good pair of snow pants. Thankfully, REI has a stellar half-off deal on a pair of well-made Burton snow pants right now, and they have a ton of pocket storage.
The Burton Cargo Snow Pants are on sale for $100, a 50% discount on their usual retail price of $200. These roomy and weather-resistant pants will keep you warm and dry on the mountain this winter (they’re also great for other winter activities, like snowmobiling). They’re available in black only, but you can get them in sizes small up to 2XL.

These snow pants are made with a two-layer DryRide waterproof polyester fabric with fully taped seams to protect your legs from snow, slush, and moisture. The pants also feature Burton’s Living Lining tech, which has pores that dilate to vent excess heat, and Test-I-Cool vents at the crotch that let you dump hot air when you really start to cook (like when skinning up a backcountry trail, for example). They also have lots of storage, including a pair of zippered microfleece-lined hand warmer pockets and back pockets, cargo pockets, and a mini hip pocket with Velcro closures. These snow pants have a regular fit, which gives you plenty of room for layering but keeps them from looking overly baggy, and the articulated knee construction lets your legs flex freely, so you won’t feel constricted when skiing or snowboarding.
REI shoppers have put these pants to the test in all kinds of wintertime conditions, and the consensus is clear: They perform great. “They are good-looking and super functional,” a shopper said. “The pockets are outstanding.” Other shoppers agreed, noting that they have “just the right level of warmth” and are “super comfy.”

“Very comfortable and warm,” said another reviewer. “Already used in wet snow and they kept me dry. Plenty of room in the pockets and easy access.”
A good pair of snow pants is a winter-time essential, and Burton is a name you can trust for quality snow sports apparel. At just $100, the brand’s Cargo Snow Pants are a standout deal—many competing pairs retail for several hundred dollars or more. The flakes will be flying soon, so take advantage of this early-season bargain before they sell out for good.
