Product Information
Full details
These CMP women's ski trousers are designed for adult skiers and snowboarders seeking reliable protection in varied weather. Their key benefit is the Clima Protect technology, offering excellent wind and water resistance with fully taped seams. A potential caveat is that while offering superior breathability, intense activity might still lead to some moisture buildup for very sensitive users.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
These trousers offer good insulation with synthetic padding. For extremely cold conditions (below -15°C or -5°F), layering with thermal base layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
What does 'WP 10.000 MVP 10.000' mean?
WP 10.000 refers to the waterproof rating, meaning the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure. MVP 10.000 refers to the breathability rating, indicating that 10,000g of water vapor can pass through each square meter of fabric in 24 hours.
How do I maintain the water repellency?
Wash the trousers according to the care instructions and consider reapplying a PFC-free water repellent treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their wind and water resistance makes them suitable for other winter activities like snowshoeing, winter hiking, or simply staying warm and dry in cold, wet conditions.
What is the function of the snow gaiter?
The elasticated snow gaiter fits snugly around your ski boots to prevent snow from entering the top of your boots, keeping your feet and legs warmer and drier.
Are the seams truly waterproof?
Yes, the trousers feature fully taped seams, which means a waterproof tape is applied over the seams to prevent any water from leaking through these critical points.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the snow gaiter is correctly positioned and sealed. If persistent, the breathability may be exceeded by high exertion; consider layering strategies. Check care instructions have been followed to maintain fabric performance.
Water seems to be seeping through
Verify that all seams are fully taped and intact. Check the care label to ensure washing and re-waterproofing treatments are up-to-date. Consider reapplying a PFC-free water repellent finish.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if needed.
