Full details
The North Face Descendit Ski Pant in Green (XL) is designed for adult females seeking a waterproof, windproof, and breathable solution for skiing. Its key benefit is providing reliable warmth and protection on the mountain thanks to Heatseeker™ insulation and DryVent™ fabric.

FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Descendit Ski Pants feature Heatseeker™ insulation, providing reliable warmth. For extremely cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
What does 'Non-PFC DWR' mean?
Non-PFC DWR stands for Durable Water-Repellent finish that does not use perfluorinated chemicals, making it a more environmentally conscious treatment to repel water.
How do I determine the correct inseam length?
The inseam lengths provided (S 77.47 cm, R 82.55 cm, L 87.63 cm) refer to the measurement from the crotch seam to the hem. Choose the length that best suits your height and preferred pant fit.
Can I wear these pants for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for other winter outdoor activities like snowboarding or snowshoeing. The fit is optimized for ski boots.
What is the warranty period for these pants?
Please refer to The North Face's official warranty information for details on coverage and duration, as this typically varies by region and retailer.
How do I clean the kickpatches?
The high-denier kickpatches are durable. Clean them gently with a damp cloth as part of the general care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside
Ensure the garment is properly zipped and sealed. Check that the waterproof membrane is intact. If the issue persists, the garment may need professional cleaning or repair.
Gaiters are not staying secure
Ensure the gaiters are pulled down fully over the ski boot. Check the gripper elastic for wear and tear. Make sure the pants are not too tight or too loose at the boot cuff.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if it remains stiff.
