FAQs
What activities are these thermal pants best suited for?
They are ideal for hiking, walking, running, and snowsports, providing thermal insulation for active cold weather pursuits.
What is the material composition?
The pants are made from a 65% polyester and 35% viscose blend.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The pants have a close fit. Refer to sizing charts if available and consider your personal preference for how snugly you like your base layers to fit.
Can I wear these as standalone pants?
These are designed as a base layer and are not intended to be worn as standalone outerwear. They work best as an insulating layer under other garments.
What does 'brushed reverse' mean?
The inside of the fabric has been brushed to create a soft, fuzzy texture. This helps to trap more air, enhancing the garment's warmth and making it feel softer against the skin.
How should I wash these pants?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning. Iron at a low temperature.
What is the benefit of the fold-over hem?
The fold-over hem creates a comfortable seal around the base of the pants, helping to keep heat in and prevent drafts from entering.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too restrictive, consider if a different base layer style might be more suitable for your activity and body type.
Reduced warmth over time
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Over time, repeated exposure to harsh detergents or high heat can degrade the thermal properties. Check for any signs of wear and tear on the fabric.
Discomfort from seams
Ensure the pants are worn the correct way round. For significant discomfort, consider a base layer with flatlock seams if this is a recurring issue with close-fitting garments.
