FAQs
Are these pants insulated?
No, the Picture Ski Pants are a 2-layer shell design and do not come with built-in insulation. They are intended to be layered with base and mid-layers for warmth.
What does 20K/20K waterproof breathability mean?
It means the fabric can withstand 20,000 millimeters of water pressure before leaking (waterproofness) and allows 20,000 grams of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours (breathability).
How do I maintain the PFC-free DWR treatment?
Wash the pants using a technical fabric cleaner, then tumble dry on low heat. If water no longer beads on the surface, reapply a PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Can I use these pants for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof, breathable, and durable nature makes them suitable for other winter outdoor activities like snowboarding, snowshoeing, or even general hiking in wet conditions.
What is the benefit of the bio-sourced polyester?
It's made from repurposed sugarcane waste, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the environmental impact compared to traditional polyester.
How do the thigh zips work?
The zippers are located on the outside of the thighs and can be opened to allow more air to circulate, helping to cool you down during strenuous activity or warmer conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Ensure the PFC-free DWR treatment is active. If not, clean the pants and reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Pants feel clammy inside
Open the thigh zips for ventilation. Ensure you are not overheating due to excessive base layers. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper track with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if needed.
