Peter Storm Thermal Base Layer Pants - Black

They are ideal for active cold weather pursuits such as skiing, trail running, hiking, walking, and any other outdoor activity where maintaining body heat is important.

As a base layer, they provide essential warmth. For extreme cold, they should be used as part of a layering system with an insulating mid-layer and a protective outer shell.

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.

The pants are constructed from a polyester and viscose blend with a brushed reverse for enhanced heat retention.

A close fit means the pants are designed to be snug against the skin, which helps to trap body heat effectively and prevent cold air from entering, while also allowing for freedom of movement during activities.

While comfortable, their primary design is as a thermal base layer for active pursuits. They can be worn casually, but their performance benefits are most realized during activity.

The brushed reverse side creates a softer surface against the skin and helps to trap air, significantly enhancing the thermal insulation properties of the fabric.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The close fit is intentional for a base layer, but if it's excessively restrictive, re-check sizing recommendations.

These are designed as a base layer. Add a mid-layer (fleece or insulated pants) and a waterproof outer shell for additional warmth and protection.

This can occur with some blends. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid high heat during drying. A gentle fabric softener can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the pants are worn correctly and not twisted. For persistent discomfort, consider your activity type; these are designed for active use where the close fit minimizes friction.
