dakine, saga, or try a yowie or facetube (outdoor technology or saga). those things are super comfy and perfect for days when it not extremely cold.

not too sure where you could find them, probably at any winter sports retailer or general clothing store during winter.

that's what i use, but i wouldn't really know too much because i live in NY and barely ever ski in anything below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
