FAQs
What type of activities are these pants best suited for?
These pants are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, winter hiking, and other general outdoor activities in cold, wet conditions.
How do I clean and maintain the water repellency?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners. Reapply a DWR refresher spray periodically to maintain water repellency.
Is the insulation sufficient for extreme cold?
The 60g insulation provides lightweight warmth suitable for typical winter sports. For extreme cold, layering with appropriate base and mid-layers is recommended.
Can I wear regular pants underneath?
The slim fit is designed to accommodate performance base layers. Wearing regular, bulky pants underneath may restrict movement.
What do the inner thigh vents do?
The inner thigh vents allow you to release excess heat and improve airflow during high-activity periods, helping to regulate your body temperature.
How do the boot gaiters work?
The inner boot gaiters are elasticated cuffs designed to fit snugly around your ski or snowboard boots, preventing snow from entering the top of your boots and pants.
Are these pants fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The pants feature a Hydrofree DWR water-repellent finish and critically taped seams, making them highly water-resistant and suitable for snowy and wet conditions. They are designed to keep you dry in typical winter weather.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside after use.
Ensure inner thigh vents are open during high exertion. Check that boot gaiters are properly sealed. If the issue persists, the DWR treatment may need refreshing, or consider if the conditions exceeded the pants' intended waterproof rating.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Verify that critically taped seams are intact and not damaged. Ensure zippers are fully closed. For persistent leaks, professional seam sealing might be required.
Slim fit feels restrictive.
These pants are designed for a slim fit to reduce bulk. Consider wearing thinner, performance-oriented base layers. If significant restriction occurs, these may not be the ideal fit for your intended activities or layering system.
Durable water repellency (DWR) is no longer effective.
Wash the pants according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Apply a DWR refresher spray designed for outdoor apparel and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the treatment.
