    Can paintball pants be used for snowboarding?

    Trying to find out if paintball pants are a viable alternative... the two appear to be very similar except snowboard pants have an extra liner. I guess the goal is to keep moisture out...

    No, they say paintball on them. The moment you use them for something else they are going to fail...

        despite what lohmans sarcasm would lead you to believe they will work quite well. i just got back from a ski trip to wisconsin and my proto pants served me well.

            I have used my Evil pants for skiing, seems to make sense to me, there reasonably padded, slippery enough to keep snow from soaking into them, and look decent.

              I used to use my snowboard pants for paintballing, but then they ripped in the knees(alot...) and I had to get paintball pants. If I tried using my paintball pants for snowboarding, I'd probably soak them through. Just buy some cheap snowboard pants. You can get warm ones for around $30, water-resistant too.
              you know you play this game too much when the neighbors stop fixing their broken windows...
