FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, they are designed with high warmth and insulation for cold conditions, making them suitable for skiing and other winter activities.
How do I clean the trousers without damaging them?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, dry cleaning, and ironing.
What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?
ARED 30/30 is a fabric technology rating indicating excellent waterproofness (30,000mm) and breathability (30,000/m²/24hr), suitable for challenging outdoor activities.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their waterproof, breathable, and insulating properties make them suitable for other snow sports or general winter outdoor use. However, they may be too warm for high-impact activities in milder temperatures.
What is the purpose of the reinforced overlay at inner ankles?
This feature protects the lower part of the trousers from abrasion and damage caused by the sharp edges of ski boots and skis.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The trousers feature an adjustable, elasticated waistband and a snug fit. Use the adjustable waist to achieve comfort. The articulated knees allow for movement within this snug fit.
What does 'PFC Free' mean?
PFC-free means that the garment's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel wet inside
This could be due to inadequate breathability or excess moisture from perspiration. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog membrane pores. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the issue persists, the DWR finish might need reapplication.
Water seeping through seams
Check if the taped seams are intact. If seams appear damaged or the tape is peeling, this may require professional repair or replacement as the waterproofing is compromised.
Difficult to zip or fasten
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to clear any obstructions. If the zipper is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Snow entering boots
Ensure the snow gaiters are properly pulled down over your ski boots and are snug. Adjust the fit if necessary.
