Full details

Their key benefit lies in the 4-way stretch Schoeller WB400 softshell fabric, which offers excellent water resistance, breathability, and freedom of movement on the slopes. A potential caveat for some users might be the sizing, as European sizing can sometimes differ from standard sizing. These pants are crafted for optimal skiing experiences, featuring a bonded fleece interior for warmth and practicality through elements like a detachable belt, internal snow guard, and rear hem zippers.

FAQs
Are these pants suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the bonded fleece interior provides warmth, making them suitable for cold skiing conditions. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Goldbergh size chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the specific measurements for the Pippa Ski Pants, as European sizing can differ.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While primarily designed for skiing, their water resistance, warmth, and stretch make them suitable for other snow sports like snowboarding or even general winter wear in snowy climates.
What is the Schoeller WB400 fabric?
Schoeller WB400 is a high-performance 3-layer softshell fabric known for its 4-way stretch, breathability, water resistance, and windproof properties, commonly used in demanding outdoor apparel.
How should I care for the water-resistant treatment?
Follow the specific care instructions provided. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat in the dryer, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary over time.
What is the benefit of the rear hem zippers?
The zippers at the hem make it easier to put the pants on and take them off, especially when wearing bulky ski boots. They also allow for a more customized fit around the boot.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the brand's sizing chart and consider trying a different size if necessary. The 4-way stretch fabric offers flexibility, but proper fit is key.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Check if the water-resistance treatment needs reapplication. Follow the care instructions carefully, as improper washing can affect fabric performance. Ensure all zippers and seams are properly sealed.
Snow guard is not effective.
Make sure the internal snow guard is properly pulled down and sealed around your boots. Ensure it is correctly tucked inside your ski boots to create a barrier.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
