FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

No, these are designed as an insulating mid-layer and are not waterproof. They should be worn under a waterproof shell.

Why is the length 3/4?

The 3/4 length prevents the material from bunching up inside your ski boots, which can cause pressure points and discomfort.

Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?

Yes, they are excellent for any cold-weather sport where you need insulated legs but want to avoid bulk near your boots, such as winter hiking or mountaineering.

How do I put these on without taking off my boots?

Utilize the full-length side zippers to wrap the pants around your legs and zip them up while your boots are already on.

What does the Lifaloft insulation do?

Lifaloft provides more warmth than standard insulation at a fraction of the weight, making it highly efficient for active, aerobic sports.

Troubleshooting

Side zipper sticking during use

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean the track with a soft brush to remove any dried mud or debris.

Loss of loft or warmth over time

Ensure the pants are machine washed to remove oils and dirt that can cause insulation fibers to clump.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack
  • Full side zippers allow for quick transitions without removing boots
  • Articulated knees provide an excellent ergonomic fit
  • Optimized length eliminates boot-top bunching
  • Durable ripstop fabric construction

Cons

  • Not intended for use as an outer shell in heavy precipitation
  • Limited coverage due to 3/4 length
  • Requires a compatible outer shell for maximum protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance, wear these over your moisture-wicking base layer and underneath your shell trousers. The pants are designed to be low-profile, so they should fit comfortably under standard ski shells. For care, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the insulation. Always hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic insulation and the stretch panels.
