FAQs

Are these pants insulated?

Yes, the Descendit Ski Pants feature 40g of Heatseeker™ synthetic insulation for lightweight warmth.

What is DryVent™ fabric?

DryVent™ is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology used by The North Face to keep you dry and comfortable in wet weather conditions.

How do I adjust the waistband?

The waistband can be adjusted using the internal hook-and-loop tabs and features belt loops for added customization.

Can I wear these for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?

While designed for snowsports, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where protection from the elements is needed, though they may be warmer than necessary for general hiking.

What does 'non-PFC DWR' mean?

It refers to a Durable Water-Repellent finish that does not contain perfluorinated compounds, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

How long is the inseam on different sizes?

The inseams are: Short (S) 77.47 cm, Regular (R) 82.55 cm, Long (L) 87.63 cm.

Are the pants machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Clean the pants thoroughly with a technical wash and reapply a DWR finish according to product instructions.

Snow entering gaiters

Ensure the stretch gaiters are pulled down fully over your ski boots and that the gripper elastic is seated securely.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant designed for zippers.

Pants feel too tight for layering

Consider wearing thinner base layers. The slim fit is designed for a streamlined profile, not for excessive layering underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and windproofing for harsh mountain conditions.
  • Lightweight yet effective insulation provides warmth without bulk.
  • Durable construction with reinforced kickpatches and hem binding.
  • Thoughtful features like stretch gaiters and secure pockets enhance usability.

Cons

  • Slim fit may be restrictive for those preferring looser layering.
  • Primarily designed for snowsports, may be overly warm for general outdoor use.
  • Limited color options available in this specific model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Descendit Ski Pants are ready to wear out of the package. Ensure the adjustable waistband is set to your comfort and that the zip fly is securely fastened. The hook-and-loop tabs on the waistband allow for fine-tuning the fit.

Compatibility: These pants are designed for winter sports and are compatible with ski boots. The slim fit is intended to layer over standard ski boot cuffs. They can be paired with any ski or snowboard jacket.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the DryVent™ fabric and DWR finish, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron. Do not dry clean.
  4. Re-Waterproofing: Periodically reapply a DWR finish (available at outdoor retailers) to restore water repellency, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
