Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pants require no complex setup. They are designed to be worn as outerwear. Ensure they fit comfortably over your base layers and mid-layers.
Compatibility:
- Boots: The boot gaiters are designed to fit over most ski and snowboard boots. Ensure the gaiter forms a snug seal around your boot cuff to prevent snow entry.
- Layering: These are shell pants, meaning they do not contain built-in insulation. They are compatible with various base layers (e.g., merino wool, synthetic thermals) and mid-layers (e.g., fleece pants) depending on the weather conditions and personal preference.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the waterproof-breathable membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
- Re-Waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency. Follow the instructions on the DWR product you choose.
