FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of these pants?
The pants feature a hydrostatic head (HH) of 28,000mm, indicating a very high level of waterproofing.
Is the insulation synthetic or down?
The pants are insulated with PrimaLoft® Silver, a high-quality, 100% recycled synthetic insulation.
How do I adjust the fit of the waist?
The pants feature a Custom-Fit Waist System™ with a higher back for enhanced coverage and adjustability. You can typically adjust it via internal drawcords or velcro tabs.
Can I attach these pants to a jacket?
Yes, they have a snap-in solution designed to attach to compatible Norrona jackets with a powder skirt system.
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold?
The body-mapped insulation provides targeted warmth, making them suitable for cold winter conditions, especially when paired with appropriate base layers. However, for extreme, prolonged cold, additional insulation might be considered depending on activity level.
What kind of pocket is the 'tool pocket' for?
The tool pocket is typically designed for items like an avalanche safety tool or other small gear needed for backcountry activities.
How do I clean and maintain the GORE-TEX fabric?
Machine wash warm on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Reduced waterproofing
Clean the pants according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Snow enters gaiters
Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are properly pulled down and sealed around your ski boots. Check for any damage to the gaiter elastic.
Pants feel too warm during activity
Open the X-open side zip vents for increased ventilation. Consider adjusting base layers.
