Full details
Designed for young female adventurers aged 9-10, the Mountain Warehouse Raptor Ski Trousers in Green offer excellent protection and comfort for snowy activities. Their key benefit is robust water resistance and snowproof features, ensuring dryness during play. A potential consideration is that they are specifically sized for children and may not suit other age groups.

FAQs
What age group are these trousers designed for?
These specific trousers are sized for children aged 9-10 years.
How do I clean the Raptor Ski Trousers?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Are the braces adjustable?
Yes, the braces are adjustable for a better fit and can also be detached if preferred.
What does DWR finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to fabrics that helps water bead up and roll off the surface, keeping the wearer drier.
Can these trousers be worn with any type of boot?
The side zip ankles and snow gaiters are designed to be compatible with most standard ski and snowboard boots. Fit may vary slightly depending on the boot style.
Are these trousers fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
The trousers are described as water-resistant and snowproof, offering good protection against typical winter conditions. They are not rated as fully waterproof for submersion.
What is the material of the trousers?
The trousers are made from 100% Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the snow gaiters are properly sealed over the boots and that the side ankle zips are fully closed. Check that the fabric's water-resistant properties have not diminished; consider re-applying a DWR treatment if necessary after washing.
Braces are uncomfortable or not staying in place
Adjust the length of the braces for a snug but not tight fit. If the braces continue to slip, ensure they are correctly attached to the trousers. The detachable nature allows for adjustment or replacement if needed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Reinforced knee patches are wearing thin
While designed for durability, very extensive wear may thin these areas. For minor wear, consider a fabric repair patch. For significant damage, professional repair might be needed, or replacement of the garment.
Pros and Cons

- Durable and water-resistant material for reliable protection.
- Designed with features specifically for skiing and snowboarding.
- Adjustable and detachable braces for a personalized fit.
- Reinforced areas enhance longevity during active use.
- Convenient side zip ankles and snow gaiters for easy boot integration.
Cons
- Limited to children's sizing, not suitable for adults.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate use. Simply adjust the braces to fit the child comfortably. Ensure the zip fly and stud fastening are secured. The side zips at the ankle should be opened for fitting over boots, then zipped closed once the boot is in place, followed by securing the snow gaiter over the boot cuff.
Compatibility: The side zip ankles are designed to accommodate most standard ski and snowboard boots. The snow gaiters are intended to fit over the top of ski boots to create a seal against snow ingress.
Care: To maintain the performance of the DWR finish and fabric, it is recommended to machine wash the trousers cold with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent properties. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Do not bleach or iron.
