FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
The trousers are snowproof and water-resistant with a DWR finish, suitable for typical snow conditions. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme wetness, they may not remain completely dry.
How do I clean the Raptor Ski Trousers?
They can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Wash dark colours separately.
How do I reapply the water-resistant finish?
Use a specific DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor clothing. Follow the product's instructions carefully, typically involving application and heat setting (like tumble drying on low if the garment allows).
Can the braces be removed completely?
Yes, the braces are detachable, allowing you to wear the trousers without them if preferred.
What age range are these trousers for?
This specific product is listed for kids aged 5-6 years. Mountain Warehouse offers other sizes in the Raptor Ski Trousers range.
Do these trousers have insulation?
The product description does not specify insulation levels, but they are designed as outerwear for skiing and snow activities, implying some thermal retention. For very cold conditions, layering is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure snow gaiters are properly sealed over boots. Check if the DWR finish needs reapplication. Allow trousers to dry completely before next use.
Braces won't stay adjusted
Check if the adjustment buckles are functioning correctly. If worn, consider replacing the braces or using a different fastening method.
Ankles are difficult to zip with boots on
Loosen the side zip fully before attempting to put the trouser leg over the boot. Ensure the boot is not too bulky for the ankle opening.
Seams appear to be leaking
Inspect seams for damage. For minor leaks, seam sealer can be applied. For significant damage, consider professional repair or replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Good water resistance and snow protection for typical winter conditions.
- Reinforced areas (knees, scuff guards) enhance durability for active children.
- Adjustable and detachable braces offer a customizable and secure fit.
- Features like ankle zips and snow gaiters add practical functionality for snow sports.
- Made from polyester for easy care and quick drying.
Cons
- May not offer the same level of insulation as heavily padded ski trousers.
- The DWR finish may require reapplication over time to maintain optimal water repellency.
- Limited pocket configuration (only two side pockets).
- The 'part-elasticated' waist might not provide a perfect fit for all body types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trousers are ready to wear out of the package. Adjust the braces by lengthening or shortening them to fit your child comfortably. Ensure the braces are securely attached if you have detached them previously.
Compatibility: The side zip ankles are designed to accommodate most ski and snowboard boots. The snow gaiters should fit snugly over the top of ski boots to prevent snow ingress.
Care: Machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Wash dark colours separately. To maintain the water-resistant properties, consider using a technical wash and re-applying a DWR finish spray periodically, following product instructions.
