Product Information
Full details
The Goldbergh Pippa Ski Pants are designed for adult women seeking high-performance ski wear that balances functionality with comfort. Their key benefit lies in the advanced Schoeller's WB400 3-layer softshell fabric, offering excellent water-resistance, wind-resistance, and 4-way stretch for unrestricted movement on the slopes. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit, which is designed for a streamlined, athletic silhouette. Key features include a bonded fleece interior for warmth, a detachable belt for adjustable fit, internal snow guards to keep powder out, and rear hem zippers for easy boot access.

FAQs
Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the bonded fleece interior provides good insulation. For extreme cold, pairing them with a thermal base layer is recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit with the detachable belt?
Thread the belt through the loops at the waist and adjust it to your comfort level. It can be removed if you prefer a looser fit or if your ski jacket provides sufficient coverage.
Can I wear these pants for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their water-resistance, stretch, and breathability make them suitable for other snow sports like snowboarding or even winter hiking in appropriate conditions.
What does '4-way stretch' mean for these pants?
It means the fabric can stretch in all four directions (lengthwise and widthwise), providing exceptional freedom of movement and a comfortable, adaptive fit during activity.
How often should I re-waterproof the pants?
Re-waterproofing is recommended annually or whenever you notice water no longer beads up on the surface and begins to soak into the fabric. Follow the product instructions for the specific treatment you use.
What is the main advantage of the Schoeller WB400 fabric?
This fabric is engineered for high performance, offering a combination of durable water and wind resistance, excellent breathability, and superior 4-way stretch for maximum comfort and protection in alpine environments.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The 4-way stretch fabric should allow for full range of motion; if it feels tight, consider a size up or try a different fit.
Snow is getting into ski boots.
Check that the internal snow guard is properly positioned and secured around your ski boot. Ensure there are no gaps where snow could enter.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The fabric's water-repellent treatment may need refreshing. Follow the care instructions for re-waterproofing to restore performance. Also, ensure seams are intact.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zippers with a brush and a small amount of water. If they remain stiff, use a silicone-based zipper lubricant sparingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Goldbergh Pippa Ski Pants require minimal setup. Ensure the detachable belt is threaded correctly if you choose to use it. The rear hem zippers should be checked for smooth operation before wearing.
Compatibility:
These pants are designed to be compatible with most ski boots. The internal snow guard is intended to integrate with the top of your ski boots to create a seal. They can be layered with thermal base layers for added warmth in extreme cold.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle.
- Use a specialized technical fabric detergent.

- Hang dry away from direct heat.
- Re-waterproof periodically using a spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor apparel to maintain performance.
