Are ski trousers and salopettes the same thing?
When someone says ski trousers or pants, usually they are referring to ski salopettes (French for overalls), although there are those that resemble more traditional trousers often more suitable for lower-intensity activities.
The biggest difference is that salopettes are typically constructed with a high waist and bib for better overall body protection whilst ski pants or trousers only protect the legs. The most common types of salopettes are uninsulated, insulated, and waterproof, designed to protect against varying degrees of weather conditions. Some typical features include thigh vents to help with circulation and temperature control and integrated snow gaiters for added overall protection around the ankles. Of course, what features you require depends on what activities you plan on participating in.
