Full details
The Picture Ski Pants are designed for adult males seeking high-performance freeride gear with a commitment to sustainability. Their key benefit is providing excellent waterproof breathability and versatility for skiing and snowboarding. A potential caveat is their shell layer design, which may require layering for extreme cold. These pants feature a 2-layer construction, are made from bio-sourced polyester, and boast a 20K/20K waterproof breathability rating with a PFC-free DWR treatment. They also include thigh zips for ventilation and a straight fit, making them ideal for active winter sports.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the 2-layer design?
The 2-layer design offers a balance of waterproof protection and breathability, making the pants suitable for a wide range of activities and weather conditions while allowing for versatile layering.
How sustainable are these ski pants?
They are made from bio-sourced polyester derived from sugarcane waste and feature a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, prioritizing environmental responsibility.
Can I use these pants in very cold weather?
Yes, as a shell layer, they provide excellent protection from wind and moisture. For very cold conditions, you will need to layer appropriate thermal base layers and/or insulating mid-layers underneath.
What does '20K/20K' waterproof breathability mean?
It indicates that the fabric can withstand 20,000 millimeters (20K) of water pressure before leaking and allows 20,000 grams per square meter (20K) of moisture vapor to pass through in 24 hours, signifying high waterproofness and breathability.
How do I clean and maintain the DWR treatment?
Wash with a mild detergent (no fabric softener), tumble dry on low, and reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment when water stops beading on the surface. Always follow the specific care label instructions.
Are these pants suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing?
Yes, their durable construction, waterproofness, breathability, and ventilation features make them well-suited for both skiing and snowboarding.
What kind of fit do these pants have?
The Picture Ski Pants feature a straight fit, designed for comfort and freedom of movement as a versatile shell layer.
Troubleshooting
Pants are no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the pants and reapply a PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the internal membrane is not blocked by dirt or residue. Wash the pants according to the care instructions. Check that ventilation zips are fully open when needed.
Zippers are stiff or stuck
Clean the zippers with a soft brush and then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.
Fit feels restrictive
These are a straight-fit shell. Adjust your inner layers for comfort. Ensure the waist and leg adjustments are properly set. Consider if the chosen size is appropriate for your layering needs.
