The Spyder Women’s Ruby Tailored Fit Pant is designed to provide you with excellent technical performance and a stylish fit to flatter your figure. Highly waterproof and incredibly breathable, the Ruby pant is insulated with lightweight, low-bulk Primaloft® Sport and incorporates 360° stretch for ease of movement on those tricky descents. There are removable suspenders for extra security should you venture off-piste and enough protection to make sure that the snow is kept out, no matter how hard you work.
| Xt.L™ 20k/20k Laminate | An ultra-thin membrane with exceptional waterproof/breathable properties. This technology results in pliable fabrics that are lightweight yet durable. Benefits include stretch recovery, which maintains the integrity of the fabric so that it performs as new even after seasons of hardcore abuse. Waterproof Rating: 20,000mm. Breathability Rating: 20,000g/m2/24hr. |
| Spylon+™ DWR | Durable Water Repellent finish applied to fabric exterior to prevent the garment from absorbing surface moisture. It has a durable water repellency of 80% after 50 washings. It also guards against water and oil-based stains. |
| PrimaLoft® Sport | A premium performance insulation engineered for superior warmth, water resistance, loft, softness and compressibility. It helps to keep the body warm, dry and comfortable, even in extreme conditions. |
| Critically taped seams | The main seams of the garment in critical areas are taped with a high quality waterproof band. |

To find out the Hydrostatic Head of a fabric the manufacturer will take a clear tube and clamp their material over the bottom end. They will then fill the tube slowly with water and watch to see how high the column of water can get before the material lets drips through. The higher the hydrostatic head, the better the water protection. The European Standard a fabric must meet to be classified as waterproof is a Hydrostatic Head rating of 1500mm, and on average, outerwear fabrics tend to have a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and above. |
| Breathability Rating | Breathability is measured as a rating in grams of how much vapour a square metre of fabric will allow to pass through in 24 hours (g/m2/24). For general use, 10000g/m2/24 and above is desirable. It should be noted that breathable fabrics do not stop you sweating and care should be taken as to clothing worn beneath waterproof/breathable shells. High quality base layers and fleece or insulated midlayers should in themselves draw vapour from the body and pass it outwards, thus allowing the outer fabric to do its job. Cotton clothing should never be worn as part of a performance clothing layering system. |
