Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this set completely waterproof?
The set is snowproof and water-resistant due to its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment and construction. While it offers good protection against snow and light rain, it is not rated as fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
What is the insulation made of?
The insulation is a microfibre filling, which is a synthetic alternative to down, providing excellent heat retention.
How do I clean the ski set?
You can machine wash the set at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach, and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and issues related to the quality and durability of the product under normal use. It provides guaranteed quality and peace of mind.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is adjustable for a better fit but is not designed to be fully detachable.
Are the braces on the pants adjustable?
Yes, the salopettes feature detachable and adjustable braces to ensure a comfortable and personalized fit.
What is the purpose of the snowskirt and snow gaiters?
The snowskirt, located inside the jacket hem, and the snow gaiters, at the bottom of the pants, both work to prevent snow from entering your clothing when you fall or during deep snow conditions.
Troubleshooting
Snow or water seeping through the fabric.
Reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to the outer fabric. Ensure all zips are fully closed and check the condition of seams.
Feeling cold despite wearing the set.
Adjust the layering system underneath. Add a warmer base or mid-layer. Ensure the snowskirt and gaiters are properly secured to prevent drafts.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Detachable braces are difficult to adjust or detach.
Ensure the attachment points are clean and free of debris. Consult the product manual for specific adjustment mechanisms if available.
