Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; clean the garment and apply a fresh waterproof treatment spray.
Snow entering through the bottom of the pant
Ensure the internal gaiter is pulled firmly over the ski boot shell and the hem is adjusted properly.
Stiff or restricted movement
Check that the waist adjustment is not over-tightened and the articulated knee sections are properly aligned with your joints.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High 20000mm waterproof rating for heavy snow and rain
- Excellent range of motion due to four-way stretch fabric
- Reinforced hems prevent fraying and damage from ski edges
- Detachable bib adds versatility for different weather conditions
Cons
- Polyester material requires specific washing instructions
- May feel heavy compared to ultra-light racing gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for use, adjust the waist tabs to your preferred tightness and attach the bib if you desire extra coverage against snow ingress. The trousers are compatible with standard ski boots; ensure the integral gaiters are stretched over the boot shell before securing your buckles.
For care, wash the polyester fabric on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric after repeated washings, re-treat with a spray-on DWR product to restore performance.
