Product Information

Full details

The Patagonia Storm Shift GORE-TEX Ski Pants are designed for adult male skiers and snowboarders seeking reliable protection from the elements. Their key benefit is the combination of waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® ePE fabric with a mesh lining for warmth and moisture management, ensuring comfort on the slopes. A potential caveat is the regular fit, which may require layering for very cold conditions.

FAQs

What is GORE-TEX® ePE fabric?

GORE-TEX® ePE (expanded polyethylene) is an innovative, durable, and lightweight material that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. It is often used in sustainable outdoor gear.

How do I clean the pants to maintain their waterproofness?

Machine wash on a warm cycle with a mild liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on medium heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Reapply DWR treatment if water no longer beads on the surface.

What is the purpose of the RECCO® reflector?

The RECCO® reflector is a passive safety device that helps rescuers locate you in case of an avalanche or other search-and-rescue situations. It does not require batteries or activation.

Can these pants be worn with regular pants underneath?

Yes, the 'regular' fit is designed to accommodate heavier layers, so you can wear base layers or other thermal pants underneath for added warmth.

How does the jacket connection loop work?

The webbing loop at the center back of the pants is designed to attach to a corresponding tab on Patagonia Snow jackets. This creates a secure, snow-proof barrier between the jacket and pants.

Are the materials used sustainable?

Yes, the shell is made from 100% recycled polyester GORE-TEX® ePE fabric with a PFC-free DWR finish. The lining is 100% recycled polyester tricot mesh. Fabrics are bluesign® approved, and the product is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

What is the inseam length?

The inseam length is 32 inches (81 cm).

Troubleshooting

Pants are leaking water through the fabric.

This can occur if the DWR finish has worn off or the fabric is heavily soiled. Ensure the pants are washed correctly with a mild detergent and that the DWR finish is reactivated by tumble drying. If the issue persists, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.

Zipper is difficult to move or gets stuck.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide. Be careful not to apply too much to the fabric.

Snow gets inside the pants at the cuffs.

Ensure the integrated gaiters are properly adjusted and sealed around your ski boots. Check that the gaiter elastic is still functional and not overly stretched.

Pants feel clammy or wet on the inside, despite not being exposed to rain.

This indicates reduced breathability or inadequate moisture management. Ensure the mesh lining is clean and free of debris. Use the mesh-lined vents to increase airflow when needed. If overheating is a persistent issue, consider wearing lighter base layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability with GORE-TEX® ePE fabric.
  • Comfortable fit with adjustable waist and articulated knees for mobility.
  • Secure storage with waterproof zippers on multiple pockets.
  • Durable construction with scruff guards and gaiters for snow protection.
  • Environmentally conscious materials (recycled polyester, PFC-free DWR, bluesign® approved fabrics).
  • Safety feature with integrated RECCO® reflector.

Cons

  • Regular fit may require additional thermal layers in extreme cold.
  • Mesh lining may not provide sufficient insulation for all conditions.
  • Pants are specific to snow sports and not suitable for general outdoor use.
  • Waterproof zippers, while secure, can sometimes be stiffer to operate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These pants are designed for immediate use. Ensure the waist adjustment tabs are set for a comfortable and secure fit. The gaiters should be adjusted to fit snugly over your ski boots to prevent snow entry. The webbing loop at the center back is designed to connect with the powder skirt of compatible Patagonia Snow jackets; simply thread the loop through the corresponding tab on the jacket and secure it.

Compatibility:

  • Jacket Compatibility: The rear webbing loop is specifically designed to connect with Patagonia Snow jackets. While it may offer a universal connection point, optimal integration is with Patagonia's own snow range.
  • Boot Compatibility: The built-in gaiters are designed to accommodate most ski and snowboard boots. Ensure a snug fit around the boot cuff.

Care Instructions:

Follow these steps to maintain the performance and longevity of your Storm Shift GORE-TEX Ski Pants:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a warm cycle with a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, or stain removers, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly twice to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting for about 20-30 minutes, or until completely dry. This helps reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric.
  4. DWR Reapplication: If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface after washing and drying, reapply a DWR treatment (such as a spray or wash-in product) according to the manufacturer's instructions. You may need to tumble dry again to activate it.
  5. Storage: Store the pants clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
