FAQs

Are these pants suitable for backcountry touring?

Yes, though the insulation makes them better suited for colder, resort-based touring than high-exertion spring climbs.

Can I use these without a jacket?

The bib design offers excellent core coverage, but a technical shell or mid-layer is recommended for total weather protection.

What should I wear underneath?

A light moisture-wicking base layer is usually sufficient given the added warmth of the PrimaLoft insulation.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Adjust the elasticated suspenders first to ensure the bib sits comfortably against your chest without pulling at the shoulders.

Will these fit over bulky ski boots?

Yes, the hems and integrated gaiters are designed to fit comfortably over standard alpine and side-country ski boots.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off; wash with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate it.

Drop seat zipper is sticking

Ensure no snow or ice is lodged in the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft brush.

Feeling overheated during vigorous activity

Unzip the dedicated ventilation zones to allow heat to escape during high-exertion climbs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance
  • Lightweight yet warm insulation
  • Convenient drop-seat functionality
  • Phone-saving Life Pocket
  • Superior mobility through articulation

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproof coating
  • Insulated design may be too warm for high-intensity backcountry touring
  • Fixed bib style is less versatile than standard shell pants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your bibs, adjust the elasticated suspenders for a secure, ergonomic fit that doesn't restrict movement. The integrated boot gaiters are compatible with most standard ski and snowboard boots; pull them over the boot shell before clicking into your bindings.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always follow the garment's wash tag instructions strictly.
  2. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof/breathable membranes.
  3. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they degrade the waterproof coating.
  4. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
