Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Blizzard II ski trousers are designed for female skiers and outdoor enthusiasts who require high-performance insulation in extreme conditions. Featuring microfibre filling and a cozy fleece lining, these trousers keep you warm in temperatures as low as -30°C while maintaining breathability. While they provide excellent protection against snow and cold, users should note that the integrated gaiters and heavy-duty insulation make them specifically suited for winter sports rather than light aerobic activities in mild weather.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for temperatures above zero?
They are highly insulated, so they are best suited for freezing temperatures. They may feel too warm if used in mild spring weather.
Do I need to wear long johns underneath?
While the fleece lining provides significant warmth, adding a thermal base layer is recommended for extreme cold or if you are sensitive to low temperatures.
Are the seams taped?
Yes, the trousers feature taped seams to ensure maximum protection against water ingress.
How do the sizes run?
The trousers are designed to fit over base layers. If you prefer a loose fit, consider sizing up to ensure comfort while bending and skiing.
Can these be tumble dried?
No, it is recommended to air dry these trousers to maintain the integrity of the insulation and the waterproof coating.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside the trousers
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers. Cotton layers can trap sweat, making you feel damp even if the trousers are waterproof.
Difficulty zipping the pockets
Clear any debris or ice buildup from the zip teeth. Use a silicone lubricant specifically designed for waterproof zips if they feel stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Blizzard II trousers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the hook and loop tabs at the waist to ensure a snug fit that does not restrict your breathing. Ensure the snow gaiters are pulled down over your boots before buckling your ski boots.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a mild, technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating from the surface.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and microfibre insulation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or losing its structural integrity over time.
