FAQs
What kind of activities are these trousers best suited for?
These trousers are specifically designed for skiing and snowboarding, offering protection and warmth in cold, wet conditions typical of winter sports.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to waist measurements. Due to the snug fit, consider sizing up if you prefer more room or plan to wear bulky layers underneath.
Can I wear these in mild weather?
While designed for cold conditions, the breathability of the ARED 30/30 fabric can make them suitable for active use in cooler, non-freezing temperatures. However, they may be too warm for strenuous activities in mild weather.
Are the snow gaiters removable?
The snow gaiters are typically integrated into the trousers and are not designed to be removed.
How often should I re-apply the water repellent treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's generally recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment after several washes or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
What does 'articulated knees' mean?
Articulated knees are pre-shaped panels in the knee area that allow for a greater range of motion and a more natural fit when bending your legs.
Is the lining made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the lining of these trousers is made from recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel less waterproof than before
This can often be resolved by washing the trousers according to the care instructions and then tumble drying on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR finish. If performance is still lacking, consider applying a specific re-waterproofing treatment.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
Fit is too snug around the waist
Utilize the adjustable and elasticated waistband to achieve a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided measurement guide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
