Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Isola II Womens Extreme Waterproof Ski Pants are designed for adult female skiers seeking robust protection and comfort on the slopes. Their key benefit is providing extreme waterproofness (tested to 10,000mm) and thermal insulation (tested down to -30°C) while maintaining breathability. A potential caveat is that their extreme focus may be more than necessary for casual winter activities.

FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of these pants?
The Isola II Extreme Ski Pants are tested to 10,000mm, making them suitable for heavy rain and challenging snow conditions.
How warm are these pants?
They offer thermal properties tested up to -30°C, making them suitable for very cold environments.
What is the purpose of RECCO® reflectors?
RECCO® reflectors are passive transponders integrated into the garment. They bounce back a signal to RECCO® detectors used by ski patrols and mountain rescue teams, aiding in locating individuals in case of an avalanche.
How do I clean and care for my ski pants?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, ironing, and dry cleaning. Re-waterproof periodically.
Are these pants suitable for general winter wear?
While they offer excellent protection, their extreme features are optimized for skiing and snowboarding. For general winter wear in milder conditions, they might be warmer than necessary.
What does the 'breathable' rating mean?
A breathability rating of 5,000g means that 5,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This helps to keep you comfortable by allowing perspiration to escape.
Can I adjust the fit of the pants?
Yes, the pants feature an adjustable waist to help you achieve a comfortable and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel cold or are not warm enough.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath. Check that ventilation zips are closed. The rated temperature of -30°C assumes a complete layering system.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The waterproof coating may need replenishing. Follow the care instructions for applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure all seams and zippers are fully functional.
Snow is getting inside the pants.
Check that the integrated snow gaiters are properly pulled down over your boots and secured. Ensure they are not damaged or stretched.
Zippers are difficult to move.
Gently try to clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a wax or specialized zipper cleaner if necessary.
