Our actions for a more planet-friendly design
We know the impact of our sport on the environment, and we're committed to minimizing the impact of our products to protect our playing field. These pants have been developed with the following features in mind:
- 100% recycled main material (excluding coating)
- 90% recycled wadding
- Fluorine-free main material
- Mass-dyed yarn lining (Dope Dyed)
What is Dope Dyed?
Dyeing textiles requires a lot of water, chemicals and energy. And yet, we love wearing color. To limit this impact, we use the "Dope Dyed" technique, which consists of integrating color pigments in powder form as soon as the yarn is manufactured (and not by soaking in dye baths, as is usually the case). This limits the consumption and discharge of wastewater linked to the dyeing of our fabrics.
What we do less well in reducing our environmental impact
Despite our efforts, it's not always easy to reduce our impact as much as we'd like. For this product, we are working to:
- Use a Dope Dyed dye for all components.
- Find out how to make a product waterproof with a less impactful solution
- Make the coating separable (or of the same chemical composition) to facilitate product recycling.
Can I compare the environmental impact of my snowboard gear?
The environmental impact of women's ski pants and snowboard pants is calculated over their entire life cycle, using various indicators. An ABCDE score is calculated to help you easily identify the skiwear with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type. Decathlon is a voluntary participant in this initiative:

Am I sure that my women's snowboard pants will protect me from the elements?
To enable you to cope with the elements (rain, snow, wind, etc.), these women's snowboard pants have been developed with a waterproof component and assemblies that block the passage of water and limit the sensation of wind. We carried out several days of snowboarding and long-term tests, in all conditions, to validate the waterproofness of the product.
What are the water-repellent properties of my pants?
The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface without absorbing it, thanks to a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric. The fabric does not become waterlogged, remaining light and warm. This treatment must be renewed over the life of the product, after an average of 2 to 3 washes, using products available in our stores. All the waterproof pants we offer snowboarders are water-repellent.
Water often gets in through the seams. Do my pants have taped seams?
In addition to the waterproof fabric, we reinforce the waterproofness of the pants with waterproof seams. These are heat-glued, waterproof strips applied to the seams on the inside of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. For this ski garment, all seams are taped.
How do my pants keep me warm?
To keep you warm, we use feather-like wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic polyester-based component that stores more or less air, depending on the size of the fibers. There are standard, technical and siliconized wadding products with different properties (warmth, lightness, elasticity, etc.). The 500 pant also features WARM SEAT technology, which improves insulation by 54% in the buttocks when you're sitting in the snow.
Coated pants: what are the advantages of coating?
A breathable coating consists of coating a textile support with a paste or liquid to create a protective film. A breathable coating is an impermeable barrier that allows water vapor emitted by the body during snowboarding to pass through.
How do I wash my pants?
To optimize the performance and durability of your pants, we recommend:
* Machine wash at 30°, synthetic program.
* Turn the product inside out.
* Use very little detergent. 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 radiator.
Outer fabric can be waterproofed using a textile waterproofing spray. Read care label.
How should I dress to keep warm in the mountains?
To stay warm and dry, we recommend the 3-layer rule. The principle is simple: superimpose 3 textile layers, each with a specific function. Your underwear must generate and retain heat. Your protective shorts provide warmth (and shock protection), while your pants protect you from the elements. All these layers must be breathable to wick away moisture.
How can I prevent snow from getting into my pants?
Our pants feature elasticated gaiters that fit around the boots. In the event of a fall or fresh snow, their hermeticity prevents snow from entering.
