Suspenders
If you'd like more support on the shoulders, you'll find loops on the inside of the waistband to add suspenders. Straps are available on our site under item no. 8751391.
What components keep my pants warm?
To help keep you warm, we use recycled wadding insulation (60g/m²). Depending on the size of its fibers, this polyester-based synthetic component stores a greater or lesser quantity of air, helping to insulate you from the cold.
How is the comfort temperature measured?
We test each of our products in the laboratory to give you an indicative comfort value. This is measured without tights for pants, and with a thermal T-shirt and fleece for jackets. The measurement indicated is that of the outside temperature at which the testers felt neither hot nor cold. This feeling differs, of course, according to the intensity of the activity, but also according to each individual's metabolism.
How should I dress to keep my legs warm on the slopes?
To keep your legs warm and dry, you need 2 layers:
- 1 pair of ski underwear to wick away perspiration.
- 1 pair of ski pants to protect you from the elements and keep you warm.
What is a membrane and what is it used for?
The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inside of the outer fabric. Hydrophilic, it blocks water coming from the outside and also evacuates perspiration produced by the body from the inside. To stay warm and dry, a membrane is a must.
How is the waterproofness of my pants measured?
We measure a fabric's resistance to water pressure expressed in mm water column (test based on ISO 811). The higher the pressure, the more waterproof the fabric. This component, with a waterproof rating of 10000mm, is therefore able to withstand the pressure exerted by 10000mm of water.
For skiing, we recommend components ranging from 3000mm to 20000mm.
In addition, at Decathlon, we test all our waterproof products in the laboratory. The rating for this product is 3/5
How can I be sure that my pants will protect me from the elements?
These pants have been developed with a rigorous component and assembly design that blocks the passage of water and limits the sensation of wind, to help you cope with the elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.). To validate its waterproofness, these pants were placed under a special shower, reproducing the conditions a skier would encounter. We validated the waterproofness of this product by skiing in different conditions for several days.
What are the water-repellent properties of my pants?
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. These pants are equipped with water-repellent components that prolong their resistance to the elements. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use these properties can be altered.
How do I reactivate the water repellency of my pants?
It's important to note that the water-repellency can be reactivated. To do this, tumble-dry the pants on the synthetic program for 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also use a waterproof spray (sold in our stores): spray the product evenly all over the garment, then leave to dry for 10 to 12 hours.)
How can I prevent snow from getting into my pants?
Our pants feature elasticated gaiters at the bottom of the legs which cover the boots. In the event of a fall or contact with fresh snow, the hermeticity of the gaiter prevents snow from entering.
How do I wash my pants?
To optimize the performance and durability of your pants, we recommend:
* Machine wash at 30°, synthetic program.
* Turn product inside out.
* Use very little detergent, no fabric softener. Do not use fabric softener.
* Manual spin-drying recommended.
* Hang to dry in a warm, well-ventilated place.
Do not dry-clean. Do not place on a radiator.
