FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Omni-Shield™ technology?
Omni-Shield™ provides advanced repellency against moisture and stains, helping to keep the pants clean and dry in wet conditions.
How does the Omni-Wind™ Block Technology work?
Omni-Wind™ Block Technology creates a barrier that stops wind and rain from penetrating the fabric, while still allowing vapor to escape, ensuring breathability.
Can these pants be worn for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?
Yes, while designed for snow sports, they are suitable for any cold-weather outdoor activity where wind and moisture protection are needed, such as winter hiking or snowshoeing.
What type of fit do these pants have?
They feature an active fit with articulated knees, designed to allow for a full range of motion during physical activities.
How do I ensure the best fit over my boots?
The bottom leg zippers allow for easy adjustment. The internal leg gaiter should be pulled down over your snow boots for a secure seal against snow.
Are these pants insulated?
The product description does not specify insulation. They are designed to be wind and water-resistant and are intended to be layered over base layers for warmth.
What is the recommended way to clean the pants?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat during drying. Do not iron.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure no stains are present before reapplication.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zippers with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth.
Pant feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The active fit is designed for mobility; check that knee articulation aligns correctly with your leg position.
Snow is getting inside boots.
Make sure the internal leg gaiter is properly extended and seated over the top of your ski boot. Ensure the gaiter is not bunched up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pants require no special setup. They are designed to be worn directly over base layers or mid-layers, depending on the temperature. Ensure the internal leg gaiter is pulled down and over your ski boot tongue for optimal snow protection.
Compatibility: The Roffee Ridge VI Pant is designed with an active fit that accommodates a full range of motion. The bottom leg zippers are specifically designed to fit over most standard ski and snowboard boots. While compatible with various winter footwear, the fit might feel slightly looser with slim-profile hiking boots due to the pant's design for bulkier snow gear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the Omni-Shield™ and Omni-Wind™ technologies, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric's protective coatings.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, use a very low heat setting on a fabric protector setting, avoiding printed areas.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can clog the pores of breathable membranes and reduce the effectiveness of water-repellent finishes.
