Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold weather?
Yes, these pants are tested to provide thermal properties down to -30°C and are fully waterproof, making them suitable for very cold and wet conditions.
What is the purpose of the RECCO® reflector?
The RECCO® reflector is an advanced rescue technology that aids search and rescue teams in locating individuals in the event of an avalanche by bouncing back location information.
How do I clean and maintain the waterproof properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical wash. Avoid fabric softener. Periodically re-waterproof using a suitable spray or wash-in treatment to maintain performance.
What does the 10,000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 10,000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water in a 24-hour period, classifying it as suitable for extremely heavy rain and snow.
Can I adjust the fit of the pants?
Yes, the pants feature an adjustable waist for a customized and comfortable fit.
What are scuff guards for?
Scuff guards are extra durable fabric pieces on the inside of the ankle designed to protect the pants from fraying and tears caused by ski edges or boots.
How do the mesh ventilation zips work?
These zips are located to allow for increased airflow, helping you to regulate your body temperature and stay cool and comfortable during high-exertion activities.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel cold
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath. The -30°C rating is for the insulation provided by the pants themselves; layering is key for extreme cold.
Snow entering boots
Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are properly positioned over your ski boots and secured. Check that they are not damaged or stretched.
Overheating during activity
Open the mesh ventilation zips to increase airflow and regulate your body temperature. Consider layering with lighter base layers if persistent overheating occurs.
Reduced water repellency
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Clean the pants thoroughly and apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product according to the manufacturer's instructions.
