FAQs
What type of activity are these pants best suited for?
These pants are primarily designed for skiing and snowboarding. They offer warmth and weather protection suitable for winter resort conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The pants should fit comfortably, allowing for movement without being too loose or too tight. Ensure you can bend your knees and hips freely. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements.
Can I wear these in very cold temperatures?
The pants feature 3M Thinsulate Insulation, providing good warmth. For extreme cold, layering with a thermal base layer is recommended. If you frequently ski in sub-zero conditions, consider a model with higher insulation.
How should I clean the pants to maintain their waterproofness?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat.
What does 10k/10k laminate mean?
The 10k/10k rating refers to the waterproofness (10,000 mm water column) and breathability (10,000 g/m²/24h) of the fabric laminate, indicating good protection against moderate rain and snow while allowing some moisture vapor to escape.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is fixed but designed to be helmet-compatible with an adjustable opening for a secure fit over your ski helmet.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel cold or not warm enough.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath. Check that the insulation hasn't compressed significantly. For extreme cold, consider pants with higher insulation ratings.
Water seeping through seams.
Confirm that all critical seams are indeed taped. If the tape appears damaged or detached, contact customer support. Ensure the DWR finish is still active; reapply if necessary.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Reduced water repellency.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the pants according to care instructions, then apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's specific guidelines.

Care:

- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid using high heat, which can damage the fabric and insulation.
