FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of these pants?
The pants have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, which is suitable for heavy rain and snow conditions.
What does the 'tested up to -30°C' mean?
This indicates that the thermal properties of the pants have been tested and found to be effective in keeping the wearer warm in temperatures as low as -30°C, when worn with appropriate layering.
How do the RECCO® reflectors work?
RECCO® reflectors are passive devices integrated into the garment. They do not require batteries or activation. In the event of an avalanche, they bounce back a signal to a RECCO® detector used by rescue teams, helping them to pinpoint your location.
Can I wear these pants for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their waterproof and insulating properties make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where protection from the elements is required, such as snowboarding or even very cold hiking in snowy conditions.
How do I wash and care for my ski pants?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if needed. It is recommended to re-waterproof periodically.
What is the main colour of these ski pants?
The main colour of these ski pants is black.
Are these pants suitable for women?
Yes, these are specifically designed as womens' ski pants.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel cold despite thermal rating
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath. The pants' insulation works best when combined with layers designed to trap body heat.
Snow ingress at the ankles
Check that the integrated snow gaiters are correctly pulled down over your ski boots and are securely fastened. Ensure there are no gaps.
Reduced waterproof performance over time
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing. Clean the pants and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor technical clothing.
Ventilation zips not working smoothly
Gently clean the area around the zip to remove any dirt or debris. If the issue persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zip teeth.
