FAQs
What is DRYVENT™ technology?
DRYVENT™ is a technology used by The North Face that ensures outerwear is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It typically involves a polyurethane coating or a laminated membrane that allows water vapor to escape from the inside while preventing liquid water from entering from the outside.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the specific size chart provided for The North Face x SKIMS collection. Measure your waist, hips, and inseam, and compare these measurements to the chart to find the best fit. Given the tailored design, precise measurement is recommended.
Can these pants be worn in very cold weather?
These pants provide waterproof and windproof protection, which is crucial for cold weather. For very cold conditions, layering with appropriate base and mid-layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
What is the difference between this collaboration and standard The North Face pants?
This collaboration integrates SKIMS' signature flattering fit and aesthetic with The North Face's technical outdoor gear construction. Key differences include the tailored fit, cinched waist, shorter inseam, and specific co-branded logos, setting them apart from standard technical pants.
How do I clean the cinched waist elastic?
The elastic in the cinched waist should be cleaned gently during the regular washing process. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying, which can degrade elastic over time. Mild machine washing cold and tumble drying low is generally safe.
Are these pants suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the DRYVENT™ technology is engineered for waterproof protection, making these pants suitable for heavy rain conditions.
What are the main materials used?
The primary material for the body of the pant is 100% nylon. The pocket lining is made of 100% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the fabric surface
The DWR coating may be worn off. Clean the garment and apply a new DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Pants feel damp inside despite outer dryness
This could be due to a lack of breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash with a technical cleaner and ensure it's fully dry.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Seam tape is peeling
This is a more significant issue. Contact customer support for potential repair or warranty claims, as seam tape is critical for waterproofing.
