Product Information

Full details

The North Face Chakal Pant is designed for active skiers and snowboarders who demand premium weather protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring high-performance DryVent 2L waterproofing and targeted Heatseeker Advanced insulation, these pants provide essential warmth and dryness in deep powder or cold lift lines. While they excel in harsh mountain conditions, users should note that the specialized insulation is geared specifically toward high-output winter sports, making them less suitable for casual, low-intensity everyday wear.

FAQs

Are these pants machine washable?

Yes, they can be machine washed in cold water with a technical cleaner. Always refer to the inner care tag for specific instructions.

Do I need to wear long underwear underneath?

While the pants are insulated, wearing a moisture-wicking base layer is recommended for added comfort and improved moisture management.

What does the 2L in DryVent 2L stand for?

It refers to a two-layer construction, where the waterproof membrane is bonded to the outer fabric, creating a durable and breathable barrier.

Is the insulation removable?

No, the Heatseeker Advanced insulation is integrated into the lining and is not removable.

Will these fit over bulky snowboard boots?

The legs are designed to accommodate standard ski and snowboard boots comfortably.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may be wearing off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.

Feeling damp inside the pants

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers; avoid cotton, which traps sweat against the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth in critical areas like the seat
  • Highly waterproof and windproof DryVent 2L shell
  • Excellent range of motion due to articulated knee design
  • Durable enough to withstand harsh mountain environments
  • Breathable construction prevents overheating during active skiing

Cons

  • Primarily built for skiing, may feel bulky for non-snow activities
  • Requires proper care to maintain the DWR coating
  • More warmth than needed for spring skiing or mild weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Chakal pants last for multiple seasons, follow these guidelines. For care, always wash in cold water using a mild, technical-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. After washing, tumble dry on a low setting to help reactivate the water-repellent (DWR) finish. For storage, hang the pants in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. These pants are designed to be compatible with most standard ski and snowboard boots; the integrated gaiters should be pulled over your boots before you begin your session to create a tight seal against powder.
