FAQs
What makes the iLUS D-Lab Stretch Softshell special?
This fabric technology provides a superior combination of windproof, waterproof, and breathable properties, along with 4-way stretch for enhanced comfort and mobility on the slopes.
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold weather?
The pants offer significant wind and water protection, making them suitable for a wide range of winter conditions. For extremely cold temperatures, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I wash the Upshill Ski Pants?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing to preserve the fabric's integrity and water-repellent properties.
Can the bootcut hem be adjusted?
The hem features a metal effect zip gusset for adjustment and ease of fitting over boots. However, the overall bootcut shape is fixed.
What is the benefit of the recycled polyester content?
Using recycled polyester reduces the environmental impact by utilizing pre-existing materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How do the snow gaiters work?
The integrated snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs located inside the pant leg. They are designed to fit snugly around your ski boots to prevent snow from entering.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure the size is correct and that all zips (especially the hem gusset) are fully opened to allow maximum stretch.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Check the water repellent finish; it may need reapplication. Ensure all seams and zips are properly sealed. Wash according to care instructions.
Snow is getting into ski boots.
Verify that the snow gaiters are correctly positioned inside the ski boot and are snug around the boot cuff.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper with a soft brush and mild soap, then try a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
