FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
The Cortina Extreme is a 3-layer shell design, focusing on wind and water protection rather than heavy bulk insulation. They are best paired with thermal base layers.
Can I use these for other winter sports?
Yes, their durable, waterproof, and windproof construction makes them ideal for various snow sports, including snowshoeing and winter hiking.
How should I clean them?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with non-bio detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean.
Do they fit true to size?
They are designed with a standard fit, but please account for the layering of base garments underneath when selecting your size.
Are they suitable for night skiing?
The trousers feature reflective details, which help improve visibility in low-light environments.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading up
The DWR coating has likely worn off; apply a DWR wash-in or spray-on treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside the trousers during heavy activity
Ensure your base layers are synthetic or merino wool to aid moisture wicking, as cotton will trap sweat against your skin.
Gaiters slipping up during skiing
Ensure the elasticated hem is positioned firmly around the boot shell; adjust the fit if the grip has loosened over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your ski trousers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the snow gaiters are pulled over your boots before buckling them to ensure a full seal.
- Washing: Use a technical fabric cleaner or a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating from the membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the bonded layers.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer shell if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
