Product Information
Full details
These CMP ski pants in blue are designed for adult female skiers seeking comfort and high performance on the slopes. Their key benefit is excellent waterproof and breathable protection thanks to the Clima Protect membrane and fully taped seams, all achieved without PFC substances. A potential consideration is that while offering great warmth, the synthetic padding may not be suitable for extreme sub-zero conditions without additional layering.

FAQs
Are these ski pants truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Clima Protect membrane with a waterproof rating of WP 10,000 and fully taped seams, providing significant protection against water and snow.
What does 'PFC-free' mean for these pants?
It means the waterproofing treatment was achieved without the use of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are often used in outdoor gear but can be harmful to the environment. This offers a more sustainable option.
How warm are the Feel Warm Flat 120g padding?
The 120g synthetic insulation provides good warmth for typical ski conditions. For extremely cold environments, layering with a thermal base layer is recommended.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof, breathable, and warm features make them suitable for snowboarding, winter hiking, or any activity in cold, wet conditions where mobility is needed.
How should I clean these pants to maintain their performance?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Use a technical wash detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
What is the difference between WP 10,000 and MVP 10,000?
WP 10,000 refers to the waterproof rating, indicating the garment can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure. MVP 10,000 refers to the breathability rating, indicating that 10,000g of water vapor can pass through per square meter in 24 hours, signifying good breathability.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check that the waterproofing membrane is not damaged. Verify that the breathability rating is sufficient for your activity level and environmental conditions. Ensure you are not overheating due to insufficient ventilation or too many base layers.
Water seeping through seams
The taped seams may be compromised. Inspect for any peeling or damage to the tape. If damaged, professional repair or seam sealing may be required.
Reduced warmth
The synthetic insulation might be compressed or wet. Ensure the pants are fully dry before use. For colder conditions, consider adding a warmer base layer.
Pants feel stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners. Re-wash with a technical wash if necessary, or consider a low-heat tumble dry if the care label permits (though generally not recommended for waterproof garments).
