FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of these trousers?
The trousers have a waterproof rating of 20000mm, indicating a high level of protection against water ingress.
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
The trousers provide excellent waterproofing and windproofing. For very cold weather, layering with appropriate thermal base and mid-layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
How do I adjust the fit of the waist?
The trousers feature an adjustable waistband, typically with internal elastication and possibly Velcro tabs or drawcords, allowing you to tighten or loosen the fit as needed.
Can the braces be removed?
Yes, the trousers come with detachable braces, offering flexibility in how you wear them.
What is the benefit of articulated knees?
Articulated knees are pre-shaped sections designed to mimic the natural bending of the knee, providing enhanced flexibility and comfort during activities like skiing and snowboarding.
How often should I re-apply the DWR finish?
The frequency depends on usage and care. It's recommended to re-apply when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface after washing and drying.
What material are these trousers made from?
The trousers are made from Polyester with Ared fabric technology and a DWR finish.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-application. Clean the trousers and apply a suitable re-proofer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement
Ensure the adjustable waist is set correctly and that the articulated knees are aligned properly with your legs. Check that no internal layers are bunching up.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper.
Reduced breathability leading to sweat build-up
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions. Verify that any baselayers used are also breathable.
