FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold?
The Exa Pants feature 40-gram insulation, which is suitable for moderate winter conditions. For extremely cold temperatures, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
What is the main benefit of the 20K/20K membrane?
The 20K/20K membrane provides excellent waterproofing (20,000mm) to keep external moisture out and high breathability (20,000g/m²/24h) to allow internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
How do I maintain the waterproofness?
Regularly wash the pants with a technical wash detergent and reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment. Avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the membrane's pores.
Can I use these pants for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof breathability and versatility make them suitable for snowboarding, snowshoeing, winter hiking, and other cold-weather outdoor activities.
What does 'bio-sourced' and 'repurposed sugarcane waste' mean?
It means the materials used in the pants are derived from renewable biological sources, like sugarcane, and waste materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
How do I adjust the ventilation?
You can adjust ventilation using the zippers located on the thighs. Open them for increased airflow during high exertion and close them to retain warmth.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside.
Ensure the thigh zips are open for ventilation if you are active. If the issue persists, check if the waterproofing membrane is compromised or if the DWR treatment needs reapplication.
Snow seeping in at the waist.
Adjust the waist gaiter for a snugger fit around your base layer or mid-layer. Ensure it is correctly positioned and secured.
Reduced water repellency.
Clean the pants thoroughly with a technical wash and then reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax specifically designed for zippers.
