Product Information
Full details
The North Face Chakal Pant is designed for adult skiers and snowboarders who require reliable protection and warmth during long days on the mountain. By combining waterproof, windproof DryVent 2L fabric with Heatseeker Advanced insulation, these pants provide a robust barrier against harsh winter elements while maintaining breathability for active movement. While these trousers excel in cold-weather performance, their regular fit may feel slightly bulky for those who prefer an ultra-slim or racing-style silhouette.

FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
Yes, they feature DryVent 2L technology, which is fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable.
Can I wear these for spring skiing?
They are insulated, so they are best suited for cold-to-moderate winter conditions. On very warm spring days, you may find them quite warm.
Do I need to wear a base layer?
While they are insulated, wearing a moisture-wicking base layer is highly recommended to manage sweat and increase overall comfort.
How do I wash the trousers?
Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear; avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What does non-PFC DWR mean?
It means the durable water-repellent finish is free from Perfluorinated Chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.
Do these pants have a regular fit?
Yes, they feature a regular fit that provides extra room for movement and comfort compared to slim or athletic fits.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the pants and tumble dry on low to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it persists, clean the zipper of any packed snow or debris using a soft brush.
Feeling damp inside the pants
This is often due to moisture build-up from sweating. Ensure you are wearing breathable, moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Chakal Pants maintain their performance, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the pants are completely dry before putting them away for the season.
- Compatibility: The regular fit allows for easy layering of moisture-wicking thermal base layers underneath. Use the integrated attachment features if your jacket is compatible with The North Face snow pant integration systems.
