I’ve worn the Stoney HS Pants alongside the Stoney HS Hooded Jacket for multiple seasons, and together they make one of the most reliable outerwear systems I own for skiing in cold, snowy conditions. Like the jacket, the pants are built as a shell—designed to block weather, move well, and let you control warmth through layering. Last season, I sized down and picked up a black pair. Same pants, same materials, but the fit is better, demonstrating how Mammut continues to refine the design over time.

They’re not trying to be trendy or ultra-light. They’re built to work.

Why the Stoney HS Pants Work on Snow Days

The Stoney HS Pants are made for people who ski regularly and want pants that hold up through long days, changing weather, and variable snow conditions. They sit comfortably between lightweight shells and fully insulated ski pants.

What stands out right away is how balanced they feel: protective without being bulky, structured without feeling stiff.

What stands out:

  • Strong protection from snow and wind

  • Durable fabric that holds up to chairlifts, edges, and packed snow

  • Clean, functional cut that moves well

  • Vents that actually help regulate temperature

  • Consistent performance in cold, snowy conditions

Once they’re on, they disappear in the best way—you don’t spend the day adjusting or thinking about them.

Stoney HS Pants Fit & Sizing

The Stoney HS Pants fit true to size with enough room to layer underneath. The cut is slightly tailored but still comfortable in motion, whether hiking to a lift or skiing full days at the resort.

They sit well at the waist and don’t feel restrictive through the thighs or knees, even when bending, skating, or climbing.

If you plan to wear thicker base layers or prefer a looser feel, sizing up gives a bit more room without throwing off the overall fit.

In short:
True to size with a clean, functional fit that works well with layers.

What I Like About Stoney HS Pants

  • Durable fabric that handles repeated use

  • Good range of motion without excess bulk

  • Venting that helps manage heat on warmer laps

  • Clean fit that works with different base layers

  • Reliable protection in stormy, snowy weather

  • Easy pairing with the Stoney HS Jacket


What I’d Change

  • Not the lightest option if you’re counting grams

  • Limited color options depending on the season


Who The Stoney HS Pants Fit Best

The Stoney HS Pants are a solid choice for people who:

  • Ski in cold, snowy climates

  • Want shell pants that block wind and snow

  • Prefer to control warmth with base layers

  • Value durability over ultralight design

  • Want pants that pair cleanly with a matching jacket

If your setup is base layer → shell pants, these fit that system well.


Pair the Stoney HS Pants With the Stoney HS Hooded Jacket

If you’re building a complete shell system, the Stoney HS Pants pair naturally with the Stoney HS Hooded Jacket. I’ve worn them together for multiple seasons, and the fit, coverage, and weather protection work seamlessly as a set.
