FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
Yes, they feature an H2No Performance Standard 2-layer shell which is designed to be fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Do I need to layer pants underneath?
While the 150-g insulation provides significant warmth, adding a base layer is recommended for very cold days to manage moisture.
What does Fair Trade Certified sewn mean?
It means Patagonia paid a premium for the labor, which goes directly to the workers who manufactured the clothing to improve their livelihoods.
Are these pants adjustable at the waist?
They feature a contoured waistband designed for a secure fit, providing a comfortable hold during active movement.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and tumble dry on low to reactivate it, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Difficulty putting pants on over boots
Ensure the bottom leg openings are fully unzipped or loosened before pulling on, and encourage the child to wear thin socks to reduce bulk at the ankle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
- High-level waterproof and windproof capabilities
- Easy layering due to smooth inner lining

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the contoured waistband is snug but allows for full range of motion. Because these are 7-8 size trousers, consider layering with moisture-wicking synthetic or wool base layers to maximize the breathability of the 2-layer shell. When washing, use a mild liquid detergent and a gentle cycle to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the durable water repellent finish on the exterior fabric.
