FAQs
What is the insulation level of the Banshee Pant?
The Banshee Pant features 40 g/m² Profill insulation, which is considered moderate warmth.
Are these pants waterproof or water-resistant?
The pants have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making them water-resistant. They are designed to repel moisture effectively but may not be fully waterproof under prolonged submersion.
Can I wear these pants for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?
While designed for snow sports, their water resistance and warmth make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where you might encounter snow or damp conditions.
How do I clean the pants to preserve their performance?
Machine wash cold with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid ironing.
What does DWR mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off the surface.
Is the material eco-friendly?
Yes, the pants are made with recycled polyester dobby body fabric.
What is the fit like?
The pants have a regular fit, providing a standard and comfortable silhouette for ease of movement.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean before reapplication.
Pants feel too cold on chilly days.
Add a thermal base layer underneath the pants. The insulation is moderate and may require support in very cold temperatures.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve glide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pants require no setup; they are ready to wear. They are compatible with most snow boots and ski/snowboard gear. To maintain the DWR finish and fabric integrity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, consider applying a DWR treatment spray to refresh the water-repellent capabilities, especially after several washes or extensive use.
