You’re investing in foundational gear that keeps up with harsh conditions season after season.
Fit Tip & Style Notes
-
The fit is regular / articulated — enough room for layering yet trim enough to avoid drag under pack straps.
-
For comfort with heavier base layers, size up or use flexible shell/mid combos.
-
The articulated cut means minor tightness off-body will relax under riding posture.
-
Reinforced cuffs and gaiters ensure that boot contact doesn’t compromise shell integrity — expect reliable performance in steep, abrasive terrain.

Fit Checklist
-
Buckle or cinch waist and move through squats — no tight pull or bunching
-
Full leg extension test: zips, seams, and cuffs should remain functional
-
With boots & gaiters in place: check that hem reaches top of boot tongues and overlaps internal gaiter
-
Side zips should open/close smoothly even with pants under stress
Care Guide
-
Wash using a technical outerwear detergent — avoid standard soaps or fabric softeners that impair membranes.
-
Close all zippers, Velcro, and flaps before washing.
-
Use a gentle warm wash cycle and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue buildup.
-
Tumble dry low or use mild heat to help restore DWR (Durable Water Repellent) performance.
-
Apply new DWR treatment when water no longer beads on the surface — use spray-on or wash-in formulas.
-
Spot-clean stubborn stains with a soft cloth and mild soap; steer clear of bleach or harsh scrubbing.
-
Ensure pants are fully dry before storing.
-
Store loosely, hung or folded gently to avoid permanent creasing or stress points.
-
Repair small damages, like seam cracks or fabric wear, early with patches or seam seal to maintain waterproof integrity.
