Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Room to Grow feature work?
The hem contains a hidden stitch that, when released, extends the pant leg by an additional 2 inches. This lets you get more seasons of use out of the pants as your child grows, without needing to buy a new pair each year.
What level of waterproofing do these pants provide?
The Propulsion pants use a 10k/10k laminate, meaning 10,000mm waterproof rating and 10,000g breathability. This provides solid protection against snow and moderate wet conditions typical of resort skiing.
Are the seams fully sealed against moisture?
The pants feature critically seam-taped construction, meaning the most exposed seams are sealed. This is not the same as full seam taping but covers the areas most likely to encounter moisture during skiing.
What insulation weight is used in these pants?
They use 60g EXO Thermo insulation, which provides moderate warmth suitable for active skiing. For extremely cold days, a base layer underneath will add extra warmth.
Do these pants have belt loops?
Yes, they include belt loops so you can add a belt for a more secure and adjustable fit at the waist.
