Cocoon PRO 60 Side Zip Pant
Featuring a waterproof/breathable outer layer the Cocoon PRO 60 Side Zip Pant are suited well for alpine travel, backcountry skiing, cold-weather belays and stormy treks. Although the fabric is waterproof/breathable the seams are not sealed thus the pants will perform better in snowy conditions below freezing than they will in wet conditions above freezing.
The fabrics are excellent for myriad cold and high altitude applications. The other features of the garment lend themselves well to these applications as well. Full side zips ease entry and exit to the garment.
Field Care & Repair
Small punctures and rips can easily be re-sealed with a tiny smear of McNett Seam-Grip. Larger rips can be repaired using the McNett Seam Grip Field Repair Kit or the McNett Gore-Tex Fabric Repair Kit. In the absence of these specialty repair items, rips can be repaired using cloth duct tape. Cocoon products use construction techniques that afford a minimal amount of stabilization to the continuous filament insulation. Consequently, they must be handled with care and should not be overstuffed. Generally, you should plan on stuffing no more than 16 ounces of Cocoon products into a single 500 cubic inch stuff sack.
Home Care & Cleaning
At home, Cocoon products should be stored uncompressed (not on a hanger) in a cool, dry, dark place. They should only be hand-washed with mild soaps such as McNett ReviveX Synthetic Fabric Cleaner. DWR on the outer shell of Cocoon products should be restored with McNett ReviveX Water Repellent (spray type) rather than wash-in water repellents which can cause the insulation to clump, because wash-in repellents are difficult to rinse out of insulation. Cocoon products can be dried in a clothes dryer (home type only, never a commercial one found at a laundromat) on LOW heat or AIR FLUFF settings only.
