FAQs
What does 'Toray Dermizax' mean for the performance?
Toray Dermizax is a high-performance membrane that provides excellent waterproofing, breathability, and durability, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in harsh weather conditions.
How does the Recco technology work?
Recco technology is a passive avalanche rescue system. It consists of reflectors integrated into the garment that can be detected by Recco detectors used by ski patrols and rescue teams, helping to locate individuals buried in an avalanche.
Can I wear these pants in very cold temperatures?
Yes, the thermal fleece lining provides insulation for cold weather. For extremely cold conditions, pairing them with a suitable thermal base layer is recommended.
How do I adjust the hem to fit over my ski boots?
The pants feature a zipper at the hem that can be opened to widen the leg opening, allowing for a snug fit over ski or snowboard boots. Secure it with the exterior snap closures.
What is the inseam length for this size?
The inseam length for these pants is 80 cm (31.5 inches).
Are these pants suitable for non-skiing activities?
While designed for skiing, their water-resistant and breathable properties, along with the comfortable stretch, make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where protection from the elements is needed.
What is the difference between the shell and lining materials?
The shell (80% nylon, 20% elastane) provides the outer protection against water and wind. The lining (100% recycled polyester) adds a soft, insulating layer against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Ensure the garment was washed correctly without fabric softener. Over time, water-repellent coatings can degrade; consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to help them glide smoothly. Ensure the surrounding fabric is not caught.
Snow gaiters are not sealing properly.
Check that the snow gaiters are fully extended and correctly positioned inside your ski boots. Ensure the silicone grip is clean and making contact with your boot lining. Fasten the exterior snap closures securely.
Pants feel too tight or restrictive.
Verify you have the correct size. If the pants are the correct size but feel restrictive, ensure you are wearing appropriate, non-bulky base layers. The 4-way stretch should allow for significant movement.
