How to use: Just put on these pants like you would any regular pair of pants. They're designed to be worn over your 45NRTH boots for a snug fit. You can adjust the waist using the hook and loop webbing for a comfortable feel. When you start to feel too hot while cycling, unzip the thigh vents to cool down. You can easily access your items in the rear pockets through the side zippers. Things to note: Avoid sharp objects that could tear the fabric. When it's very cold, you might want to wear some thin thermal leggings underneath for extra warmth. Maintenance: Machine wash these pants in cold water on a gentle cycle. Hang them to dry to keep their shape and performance. Don't use bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the material.
