Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

The Descendit range is designed as a technical shell to provide weather protection and allow for custom layering based on your activity level and the ambient temperature.

How do I clean them?

Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.

Will these fit over bulky snowboard boots?

Yes, the cut is designed to accommodate standard ski and snowboard boots, including the bulkier silhouettes of modern snowboard footwear.

What is the benefit of the articulated fit?

The articulated fit uses advanced tailoring around the knees to ensure the fabric does not restrict your movement during deep squats or rapid directional changes.

Can I use these for mountaineering?

While designed primarily for resort skiing, their durable construction and weather resistance make them capable of handling various alpine activities.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; reapply a technical spray-on DWR treatment after washing.

Feeling cold while stationary on chairlifts

These are performance shells; incorporate a fleece or insulated mid-layer under the trousers for improved thermal retention.

Leg cuffs dragging on the ground

Ensure the internal gaiter is properly secured over the boot to lift the cuff hem off the floor when walking in ski boots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather resistance keeps you dry in heavy snow
  • Articulated knees provide superior range of motion
  • Reinforced cuffs significantly increase the lifespan of the garment
  • Minimalist aesthetic suitable for various mountain environments

Cons

  • Requires proper layering for warmth in very cold climates
  • Beige colorway requires more frequent cleaning than darker options
  • Designed primarily for high-output activity rather than stationary use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum longevity, clean these trousers according to the care label, generally using a technical fabric detergent to maintain the water-repellent finish. When choosing boots, the integrated gaiters within the cuffs should be pulled over your ski or snowboard boots to prevent snow ingress. Periodically inspect the edge guards for fraying after heavy use and avoid drying them on high heat, which can compromise the technical membranes. Always hang the trousers in a well-ventilated area after a day on the slopes to ensure they dry completely before storage.
