FAQs
Are these pants insulated?
Yes, these pants feature Omni-Heat Reflective taffeta lining, which reflects and retains body heat for warmth.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?
While designed for snow sports, their waterproof and warm features could make them suitable for other cold-weather, snowy outdoor activities, though they may be too warm for high-exertion activities in less extreme temperatures.
How do I adjust the waist?
The pants typically feature an internal adjustable waist system, often with tabs or elastic that can be cinched or loosened to customize the fit.
What material are the pants made from?
The pants are made from 100% polyester, with a seam-sealed Omni-Tech waterproof breathable membrane and Omni-Heat Reflective taffeta lining.
Are the pants breathable?
Yes, the Omni-Tech fabric provides breathability, allowing some moisture vapor to escape while keeping water out.
Can I layer clothing underneath these pants?
Yes, the design allows for layering with base or mid-layers for added warmth, especially in very cold conditions. The adjustable waist helps accommodate different layering needs.
Troubleshooting
Pants are not fully waterproof.
Ensure all seams are intact and the fabric has not been damaged. Check that the leg gaiters are properly sealed around the boots. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if the outer fabric appears to be absorbing water.
Waist is too loose or too tight.
Utilize the adjustable waist feature to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. If the adjustment range is insufficient, consider wearing a belt or layering thicker base layers.
Snow is getting inside the pant legs.
Ensure the internal leg gaiters are fully extended and properly secured over your ski or snowboard boots. Check for any gaps or damage to the gaiter material.
Zipper pockets are difficult to open/close.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
