FAQs
What makes these trousers waterproof and breathable?
They feature ARED 15/15 fabric technology, which is specifically designed to be waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while preventing water from entering.
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
The trousers provide good protection against the elements. For very cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
How do I clean the embellished design?
It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C and avoid ironing. Special care should be taken around the crystal embellishments during washing and drying.
Can I wear these trousers with different types of ski boots?
Yes, the bootcut fit and ankle zips with gussets are designed for compatibility with most standard ski boots, allowing for adjustability.
What is the benefit of the recycled polyester material?
Using recycled polyester reduces environmental impact by utilizing pre-existing materials, contributing to sustainability efforts in apparel manufacturing.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment product. Follow the specific instructions provided with the re-waterproofing product, typically involving a wash cycle and then either air drying or low heat tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the trousers.
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. If it has diminished, reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Check seams for any damage.
Snow gaiters are not sealing effectively.
Ensure the snow gaiters are pulled down fully over your ski boots and are snug. Check for any tears or damage to the gaiter material.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Trousers feel restrictive.
Verify that the size is correct for your body. Ensure the ankle zips and gussets are adjusted properly around your boots for optimal fit and flexibility.
