FAQs
What is the main benefit of the 'Effect by ODLO' technology?
The 'Effect by ODLO' technology uses silver ions embedded in the fabric to provide a permanent antibacterial treatment. This effectively neutralizes odor-causing bacteria, keeping the garment fresh even after extended wear during intense activity.
Are these pants warm enough for very cold weather?
These are classified as light base layer pants, optimized for moisture management during high-aerobic activity. For very cold weather or low-intensity activities, they may need to be combined with additional warmer layers.
How should I wash these base layer pants?
You should machine wash them cold (30°C) with like colors. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on low heat if necessary.
What does the Oeko-Tex label signify?
The Oeko-Tex label indicates that the product has been tested for and is free from harmful substances. This means it is safe for direct skin contact and does not contain carcinogenic ingredients, formaldehyde, or allergy-causing dyes.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, these base layer pants are versatile and suitable for any winter activity that involves high exertion, such as running, hiking, cycling, or mountaineering, where staying dry and managing sweat is important.
What is the fit like?
The pants have a lightweight design with an elasticated waistband for a comfortable and secure fit. They are intended to be snug enough to function as a base layer but not so tight as to restrict movement.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels clammy or wet.
Ensure the base layer is the innermost layer. If wearing multiple layers, the outer layers may be preventing moisture from escaping. Also, check that the garment is not too tight, which can restrict airflow and moisture transfer.
Unusual odor persists despite antibacterial treatment.
While the Effect by ODLO treatment is long-lasting, extreme conditions or improper washing (e.g., using fabric softener) can affect performance. Try a dedicated sports wash or a vinegar rinse (followed by a normal wash) to help remove any lingering odors. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
Chafing occurs during activity.
Although designed with flat stitches, individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure the fit is correct – not too loose or too tight. If chafing persists, consider applying a lubricant like Body Glide to friction-prone areas.
