FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
The trousers feature ARED 30/30 technology, offering excellent water repellency. While designed for protection against snow and moderate rain, performance can depend on the severity of conditions and maintenance of the fabric's treatment.
What is the warmth level of these trousers?
The trousers are padded for high warmth, making them suitable for cold weather conditions on the slopes.
Can I wear a base layer underneath?
Yes, the trousers are designed to be worn with base layers. Given the snug fit, you may want to consider the thickness of your base layer when selecting your size.
How do I clean and maintain the waterproof coating?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, no fabric softener, and tumble dry low or air dry. Reapply a water-repellent finish periodically as needed.
What does 'articulated knees' mean?
Articulated knees are designed with pre-shaped seams and extra fabric in the knee area to allow for a greater range of motion and flexibility when bending your legs.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
They feature two side pockets and two thigh pockets, providing ample storage for essentials.
Are these trousers suitable for all snow conditions?
Yes, their water repellency, breathability, and warmth make them suitable for various snow conditions, from dry powder to wet slush.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or restrictive
Adjust the elasticated waistband. If the fit remains too snug, consider if a larger size is needed, paying attention to the snug fit described.
Snow ingress at the ankle area
Ensure the snow gaiters are properly pulled down and secured over your ski boots. Check that the gaiters are not damaged.
Reduced water repellency after use
Wash the trousers according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider applying a technical fabric re-proofer suitable for waterproof/breathable garments.
Pockets feel insufficient for gear
Utilize the two side pockets and two thigh pockets strategically for essential items. For larger gear, consider a backpack.
