FAQs
Are these pants insulated enough for extreme cold?
The synthetic insulation provides reliable warmth for typical winter conditions. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure, layering with a thermal base layer is recommended.
How do I clean the pants?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What is the purpose of the reinforced kickpatches?
The reinforced kickpatches are located on the inner ankles to protect the fabric from abrasion and wear caused by ski edges, crampons, or other sharp gear.
Can these pants be worn for activities other than skiing?
Yes, they are suitable for various winter activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, or simply staying warm and dry in cold, wet weather.
How do the gripper elastic gaiters work?
The gaiters are elastic bands with grippers built into the lower leg of the pants. They are designed to create a seal around your ski or snowboard boots, preventing snow from entering the pants.
What material are the pants made from?
The pants feature synthetic insulation and a waterproof membrane, constructed with polyester for durability and protection.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside despite dry weather.
This could indicate a breach in the waterproof membrane or inadequate ventilation. Ensure all zippers are properly closed and consider wearing a breathable base layer. If the issue persists, the membrane may be compromised.
Snow is getting inside the pant legs.
Check that the gripper elastic gaiters are properly positioned over your boots and are creating a seal. Ensure they are not stretched out or damaged.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Reduced water repellency.
The DWR treatment on the outer fabric may have worn off. Follow care instructions to wash and reapply a DWR finish suitable for outdoor apparel.
