The school asked if the epipen can go through snow pants. So....can it?

Thanks in advance.

To get the most accurate answer I would contact EpiPen directly.

I have heard from somewhere (sorry I can't remember where, thinking maybe when I was shown how to use the epi) that it can go through jeans, but nothing thicker.

I would guess that it couldn't ( although the needle is pretty long). I would drop the snow pants down and administer like that. I would take more than a second to expose the top of the thigh enough to inject over whatever pants they have on under neath.
