FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold?
These are softshell pants with a DWR coating, best suited for mild to moderate cold. For extreme cold, layering is recommended.
How do I clean the pants?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry.
What does 'PFC-free' mean for the DWR coating?
PFC-free means the durable water-repellent coating does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are considered harmful to the environment.
Can I wear these pants without a jacket connected?
Yes, the jacket-pant connector is an optional feature for added protection against snow entry. The pants function perfectly on their own.
How should I care for the snow gaiter?
The snow gaiter should be kept clean and free from debris. After use, brush off any snow or dirt. Wash the pants according to care instructions; the gaiter will be cleaned along with the rest of the garment.
What is the primary benefit of the 'super stretch' material?
The super stretch material provides maximum flexibility and freedom of movement, allowing for dynamic actions like deep squats and jumps on the slopes without restriction.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading on the surface
The DWR coating may have worn off. Reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment following product instructions.
Snow entering the pant legs
Ensure the snow gaiter is properly secured around your boots. Check for any tears or damage to the gaiter.
Waistband feels too tight/loose
The semi-elasticated waist offers some adjustability. For significant differences, consider wearing the pants with a belt or adjusting underlayers.
Fabric feels less flexible after washing
Avoid fabric softeners during washing. If stiffness persists, a gentle tumble dry on low heat might help restore some flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pants require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. Ensure the waist is comfortable and adjust as needed.
Compatibility:
- Jacket-Pant Connector: Designed to work with O'Neill jackets featuring the corresponding connector system. It may also be compatible with other brands, but fit is not guaranteed.

Care Instructions:
