FAQs

Are these pants suitable for deep backcountry powder?

While highly protective, the Glide pants are primarily designed for resort skiing. They will perform well in moderate snow, but extreme backcountry conditions may require higher-tier technical shells.

Can I wear thick long underwear under these?

Because of the slim-leg fit, we recommend wearing a lightweight, performance-grade base layer rather than heavy thermal trousers.

How do I maintain the waterproof rating?

Periodically clean the pants to remove salt and dirt, then apply a specialized DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads off the fabric.

Are the pants machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable on a gentle cycle, but turning them inside out is required to protect the crystal details.

Do these pants provide insulation?

They are made of softshell fabric, which provides a balance of wind protection and warmth, but they are not heavily insulated like a dedicated puffer pant.

What does the 15/15 rating mean?

The 15/15 rating refers to a 15,000mm waterproof head and 15,000g/m2/24hr breathability rating, suitable for most winter sports conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water penetrating the surface fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a technical re-proofing spray to restore the water-beading performance.

Difficulty fitting boots under the hem

Ensure the hem gussets are fully unzipped. If they are still tight, check if the boot buckle positioning is creating excess bulk.

Crystals look dull or loose

Avoid machine drying at high temperatures. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to protect the embellishments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability ratings
  • Sophisticated design with premium detailing
  • Flexible softshell material for comfort
  • Functional features like snow gaiters and gussets included

Cons

  • Slim-leg fit can be restrictive for some body types
  • Requires careful cleaning to preserve decorative crystals
  • Limited stretch compared to high-performance racing gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for use, ensure the hem gussets are fully unzipped before sliding into your ski boots, then zip them closed to secure the seal around the boot cuff. The built-in snow gaiters should be pulled over the outside of your boot to prevent internal snow entry. For care, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof apparel. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating. Due to the Swarovski crystal embellishments, always turn the pants inside out before washing or consider hand-washing to ensure the longevity of the decorative elements.
