FAQs
Are these trousers truly waterproof?
The trousers feature a DWR finish and are snowproof and water-resistant, designed to keep the wearer dry in snowy conditions. For extreme, prolonged submersion in water, higher levels of waterproofing might be needed.
Can the braces be fully removed?
Yes, the braces are both adjustable and detachable, allowing for flexibility in how the trousers are worn.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Utilize the adjustable braces and the part-elasticated waistband. The trousers are designed for children aged 9-10 years, so refer to sizing charts if available for the most accurate fit.
What is the purpose of the scuff guards?
Scuff guards are reinforced panels located on the lower legs to protect the fabric from wear and tear caused by ski edges, boots, or general rough handling.
Can these trousers be worn without ski boots?
Yes, while designed for ski boots (with side zip ankles and gaiters), they can be worn with other footwear. The gaiters may tuck inside boots or around lower legwear.
How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, re-application is recommended when water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric. Check product instructions for specific guidance.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Check if the DWR finish needs re-application. Ensure all zips and fastenings are properly closed. Clean the garment according to care instructions.
Braces not staying in place
Adjust the braces to a tighter setting. Ensure they are correctly attached if detached. Check for any damage to the attachment points.
Snow entering around the ankles
Ensure the snow gaiters are pulled down fully and correctly sealed around the ski boots. Check if the gaiters are damaged or worn.
