insulated pants

Cold-weather leg covering

Insulated pants are trousers with a layer of material designed to retain body heat, worn in cold weather.

The insulation—typically synthetic fill or down—is sandwiched between outer and inner fabric layers.

Common for skiing, hunting, or outdoor work: I grabbed my insulated pants before heading out to shovel.
