Full details

The CMP Woman Pant in Blue is designed for adult female skiers seeking comfort and high performance on the slopes.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of Clima Protect technology?

Clima Protect technology provides a waterproof and breathable membrane that keeps you dry from the outside while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside, ensuring comfort during physical activity.

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the Feel Warm Flat 100g insulation offers good warmth for cold conditions, and the waterproof and windproof features further protect against the elements.

How do I ensure the best fit for maximum freedom of movement?

Try on the trousers with the type of base layers you would typically wear for skiing. Ensure the waist sits comfortably and that the fabric around the knees and hips allows for a full range of motion without pulling or restriction.

What does 'PFC-free' mean for these trousers?

It means the water-repellent treatment on the fabric does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered harmful to the environment. This is a more eco-friendly approach to waterproofing.

Can I wear these for other winter activities besides skiing?

While optimized for skiing, their waterproof, breathable, and warm features make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities like snowboarding or even hiking in wet and cold conditions, though they may be warmer than necessary for some activities.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. A good indicator is if water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric. Generally, re-applying every few washes or when performance declines is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside despite no external wetness.

This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean and free of dirt or oil buildup. Consider re-applying a PFC-free water-repellent treatment if the breathability doesn't improve.

Water seems to be penetrating the fabric during heavy rain or snow.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers thoroughly and re-apply a suitable PFC-free waterproofing treatment according to product instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Elastic inserts feel too tight or restrict movement.

Ensure the trousers are the correct size. If the fit is otherwise correct, the elastic may be a design feature; consult the product manual or manufacturer for specific fit guidance.

  • Eco-friendly PFC-free water-repellent treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear ski trousers. Ensure they are zipped up correctly and adjust the waistband if necessary. The central zip at the bottom of the leg allows for easy donning and doffing over ski boots.

Compatibility: Designed to be worn for skiing, these trousers are compatible with most ski boots and jackets. They are specifically mentioned as pairing well with ski jackets from the CMP Seventy range.

Care: To maintain the performance of the Clima Protect membrane and water-repellent finish, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for technical outdoor wear.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically, apply a PFC-free waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore the water-repellent properties, especially after several washes.
  5. Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or dry cleaning, as these can damage the fabric and its technical properties.
