To use these snow pants, simply put them on like regular pants. Make sure to zip up all the zippers for maximum waterproofing. You can use the cargo pockets to store small items like your phone, keys, or a snack. When it gets too hot, open the vents to cool down. For maintenance, after each use, shake off any loose snow and dirt. If they get really dirty, you can machine - wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the waterproof coating. Hang them to dry instead of using a dryer. Also, check the seams and zippers regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you find any issues, it's best to get them repaired right away to keep your pants in top shape for your next snow adventure.
