FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the ARED 30/30 technology provides insulation and weather resistance, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extremely low temperatures, layering with additional base or mid-layers is recommended.
How do I clean the reinforced ankle overlays?
The reinforced overlays can be cleaned along with the rest of the trousers following the care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing on this area.
What does 'PFC-free' mean for me?
PFC-free means the trousers are made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment. This ensures a more eco-friendly product.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Absolutely. Their waterproof, breathable, and durable nature makes them excellent for various winter activities like snowboarding, snowshoeing, winter hiking, or general cold-weather outdoor use.
What is the fit like?
The fit is described as 'snug', meaning they are designed to be close-fitting. It is advisable to check the sizing guide and consider if you prefer a looser fit for layering when selecting your size.
Do these trousers have insulation?
Yes, the ARED 30/30 fabric offers insulating properties to help keep you warm during winter activities.
How do I re-waterproof the trousers?
You can use a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor gear. Follow the specific product's instructions carefully after cleaning the trousers.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the garment is properly washed and dried according to care instructions. Check that all zips and closures are fully sealed. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised; consider a re-waterproofing treatment.
Water is leaking through seams
The taped seams may be damaged. Inspect the seams for any peeling or damage. For minor issues, a seam sealer can sometimes be applied. If significant, repair or replacement may be necessary.
Waistband feels too tight/loose
Adjust the elasticated waistband using the integrated adjusters for a secure and comfortable fit. If the base size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Snow gaiter is difficult to secure
Ensure the snow gaiter is correctly positioned around your boot. The elasticated edge should sit snugly. If it's consistently difficult, ensure your boot's profile is compatible.
