Airblaster Beast Access 2027 – Shell Pants

The Beast Access is Airblaster's answer for snowboarders who want serious weather protection without sacrificing movement or style. Built as a shell pant, it's designed for riders who like to layer on their own terms — whether they're lapping the park, chasing pow, or spending long days on the mountain in variable conditions.

The outer shell is a 30,000mm waterproof, 100% recycled Eco-Vortex 2L fabric with fully seam-sealed construction, PFC-free DWR finish (Rudolph Biofinish 80/50), and laminated storm flaps with welded bar tacks to keep moisture out at every entry point. A gusseted crotch and the signature Baggy Plus fit deliver the kind of unrestricted mobility that lets you move like you're not wearing a pant at all. Breathability hits 20,000g/m², and mesh-lined zippered outer thigh vents let you dump heat on the fly. YKK zippers run throughout, the elastic waistband adjusts with a drawcord and cord lock, and integrated elastic cuffs with a grip strip and lace hook keep everything locked down at the boot.

Who it's for

This pant is built for snowboarders who ride hard in serious conditions but want the flexibility of a shell system. The Baggy Plus fit and gusseted crotch make it ideal for riders with an active, trick-heavy style who can't afford to feel restricted. If you hate overheating mid-run but still need 30K waterproofing to back you up, the Beast Access covers both ends.
