FAQs
What type of weather are these ski pants best suited for?
These pants are best suited for cold weather conditions where water and snow resistance are important, such as skiing and snowboarding. The insulation and waterproof/breathable features provide comfort in a range of winter conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The pants are designed for a relaxed fit and are true to size. We recommend ordering your usual size. You can further adjust the fit using the internal drawstring and belt loops.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, these pants are suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities that require water resistance and insulation, such as hiking or snowboarding.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, reapply DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric, typically after several washes or heavy use.
What does FN Dry™ 10K mean?
FN Dry™ 10K refers to Oakley's proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. The '10K' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 10,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking. It also signifies good breathability, allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Are these pants waterproof or water-resistant?
The pants are engineered to be water-resistant and waterproof, featuring a HYDROFREE DWR treatment and a FN Dry™ 10K barrier designed to block out rain and snow.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside
Ensure the FN Dry™ 10K barrier is not compromised. Check that zippers are fully closed during use. Consider if the insulation is sufficient for the temperature or if additional layers are needed. If the issue persists after washing and re-waterproofing, the DWR treatment may need to be reapplied.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The HYDROFREE DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the pants and reapply a DWR finish according to the product instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as this can impede water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper before attempting to force it.
Fit is too loose
Utilize the internal drawstring and belt loops to achieve a more secure and personalized fit. If the overall size is too large, consider ordering a smaller size.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish.
- Washing Temperature: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and its protective treatments.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to maintain optimal water resistance. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment. Ensure zippers are closed before washing.
