Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant DWR finish and are snowproof, making them excellent for dry or wet snow conditions, though they are not fully waterproof like professional grade mountaineering shell pants.
Can I remove the braces?
Yes, the braces are detachable, allowing you to wear the trousers as a standard pull-on style if preferred.
What should I wear underneath?
For optimal warmth, we recommend wearing a technical thermal base layer. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture.
How do I know which size to pick?
Please refer to the standard UK dress size guide; the elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but ensure the length is suitable for your height.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While designed for skiing, they are suitable for cold-weather hiking, provided the ambient temperature is sufficiently low to prevent overheating.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer layer
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a dedicated DWR restorer spray to the outer shell.
Braces slipping during movement
Adjust the buckle sliders to shorten the straps and ensure the tension is evenly distributed across your shoulders.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent insulation rating down to -20C
- Effective water-resistant DWR finish
- Secure fit with detachable braces and elasticated waist
- Integrated snow gaiters prevent snow ingress

Cons
- Primarily suitable for very cold conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, adjust the detachable braces so they sit comfortably over your shoulders without pulling. The elasticated waist should sit snugly but allow for comfortable movement. For compatibility, the integrated snow gaiters are designed to be worn over standard ski boots to create a sealed environment.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR water-resistant coating.
- Drip dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the synthetic filling.
- Re-apply a DWR spray treatment periodically to maintain the water-resistant properties after multiple wash cycles.
