Airblaster Access Cargo 2027 – Shell Pants

The Airblaster Access Cargo is a waterproof shell snowboard pant built for riders who want maximum freedom on any terrain — park laps, chairlift cruising, or street features. Developed alongside pro rider Michael McDaniel, it pairs a deliberately oversized silhouette with no-nonsense functionality for those focused on progression and personal style.

Constructed from a 2-layer Durable Freedom Series shell, the Access Cargo delivers 10,000mm of waterproofing with critical seam sealing and a PFC-free eco-DWR treatment to keep moisture out without the environmental cost. Breathability is rated at 10,000g/m², the fit is Airblaster's Baggy Plus — their roomiest cut — and every zipper on the pant is YKK. An adjustable elastic waist, gusseted crotch, and the brand's signature elastic cuff with grip strip and boot hook round out the build.

Who it's for

This pant is made for the rider who refuses to be boxed in — someone equally comfortable on a park feature as on a backcountry side-hit. The oversized 90s-inspired fit gives you room to move and layer underneath, while the cargo-ready construction keeps everything functional across a full day on the mountain. If you ride hard, want to look good doing it, and hate pants that fight back, the Access Cargo is your answer.
