FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
Yes, these pants are tested to -30°C and are designed for extreme cold conditions. However, individual thermal comfort can be affected by activity level and layering.
How do I clean and maintain the waterproof feature?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softener. Reapply a DWR treatment if water stops beading on the surface.
What is the purpose of the RECCO® reflectors?
RECCO® reflectors are a safety feature that aids ski patrol and rescue teams in locating individuals in the event of an avalanche by bouncing back location information.
What is the waterproof rating of these pants?
The pants have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, which is suitable for heavy rain and significant snow conditions.
How do the mesh ventilation zips work?
These zips are located in key areas to allow airflow. Opening them helps to release heat and moisture, regulating your body temperature during physical activity.
What does the 'breathable' rating of 5,000g mean?
A rating of 5,000g means that the fabric allows 5,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period, helping to keep you cool and comfortable by allowing perspiration to escape.
What is the warranty period for these ski pants?
These ski pants come with a 3-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside
Ensure the mesh ventilation zips are open if you are exerting yourself. Check that the breathable rating is not exceeded by very high levels of perspiration; consider layering appropriately.
Snow entering ski boots
Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are correctly pulled down and secured over your ski boots. Adjust the fit of the gaiter if necessary.
Water is not beading on the fabric surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the garment and follow the instructions for a DWR treatment product.
Fabric on inner ankle is fraying
The scuff guards are designed to protect the main fabric. Ensure the scuff guards are correctly positioned to cover the area prone to abrasion from ski edges.
