FAQs
Are these pants insulated?
Yes, these pants feature 25-gram Thermal STD insulation, providing a good balance of warmth and breathability. However, they are designed as a versatile shell layer and may require additional insulation for very cold conditions.
What does 'PFC-free DWR' mean?
PFC-free DWR stands for 'Perfluorinated Compound-free Durable Water Repellent'. It means the water-repellent coating on the fabric does not contain harmful PFC chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
How do I connect these pants to my jacket?
The pants have a jacket-pant interface with 3 attachment points. Look for corresponding attachment loops or zippers on your ski jacket to connect them, creating a barrier against snow.
Can I wear these pants in mild weather?
Yes, the pants are highly versatile. In warmer conditions, you can open the zippered thigh vents and wear them with lighter base layers. Their breathability rating helps manage heat.
What is the 'I-Fit System'?
The I-Fit System allows you to easily adjust and secure the pant cuffs, for example, to prevent them from dragging on the ground after skiing or to protect them from snow entry.
How waterproof and breathable are these pants?
The pants feature a DRYPLAY membrane with a waterproof rating of 20,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24h (or 20K/20K in some descriptions), offering excellent protection from wet conditions and good moisture management.
Are these pants made from recycled materials?
Yes, the materials include a significant portion of recycled polyester, and some descriptions mention bio-sourced polyester from repurposed sugarcane waste, reflecting Picture's commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel wet on the inside.
Ensure the DWR treatment is active. If not, reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment. Also, check that ventilation zippers are open during strenuous activity and that you are not wearing non-breathable base layers.
Water seeping through seams.
Verify that all seams are fully taped and intact. Minor damage to taped seams may require professional repair. Ensure zippers are fully closed and waterproof.
Cuffs are getting damaged.
Utilize the I-Fit System to roll up cuffs when not skiing or walking in snow. The bombproof edge protection helps, but avoiding contact with edges is best.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Ensure no snow or debris is obstructing the zipper. A small amount of wax can help improve glide.
