Frequently Asked Questions
Are these ski pants waterproof or just water-resistant?
These pants feature a Gore-Tex laminate with fully taped seams, making them fully waterproof rather than merely water-resistant. They will keep you dry in snow, sleet, and wet conditions throughout the ski day.
Do the Spyder Hone GTX pants have any ventilation?
Yes. They include a thigh ventilation system with zippered vents that allows you to dump excess heat during high-exertion skiing or warmer spring days.
What does "PFC EC-Free DWR" mean on these pants?
The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) finish on the outer fabric is free of environmentally concerning perfluorinated compounds (PFC EC-Free), meaning the water-repellent coating uses a more environmentally responsible chemistry.
Are these pants insulated or shell-only?
These are shell pants lined with nylon taffeta but without built-in insulation. This makes them ideal for layering over base layers or midweight bottoms, giving you flexibility to adjust warmth based on conditions.
Is the waist adjustable?
Yes. The pants feature an adjustable waist construction along with belt loops, so you can fine-tune the fit or wear them with a belt.
