FAQs
What type of insulation is used in these pants?
The pants use 3M Thinsulate Insulation, with different grams per square meter in the body (100g), sleeves (80g), and hood/collar (60g) for optimized warmth.
Are these pants suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, they feature a 10k waterproof rating and critically seam-taped construction, making them suitable for snowy and wet conditions often encountered during skiing.
Can I wear a helmet with the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to be fixed and helmet-compatible, with an adjustable opening for a secure fit over most ski helmets.
What is the primary intended use for these pants?
These pants are primarily designed for women's skiing and snowboarding activities, providing warmth, waterproofing, and freedom of movement on the slopes.
How should I clean the pants to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with a liquid detergent, do not use fabric softener or bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does the '10k/10k' rating refer to?
The 10k/10k rating refers to the waterproof and breathability rating of the fabric. 10,000mm indicates the level of water pressure the fabric can withstand before leaking, and 10,000g/m²/24hr indicates the amount of water vapor that can pass through the fabric in 24 hours, indicating breathability.
Are the pants made from recycled materials?
Yes, the pants are constructed using recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof-technical outerwear after cleaning.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Pants feel too warm
Consider layering with lighter base layers. For less intense activity, unzipping vents (if present) can help regulate temperature. The insulation is designed for cold conditions.
Seams appear to be leaking
Ensure all critically taped seams are intact. If damage is observed, consult a repair specialist or consider seam sealing tape for minor issues.
