FAQs
What makes these trousers sustainable?
They are crafted using a blend of 60% Recycled Polyester and 40% Polyester, incorporating recycled materials into their construction.
Are these trousers waterproof?
The trousers feature Ilus D-Lab and Softshell technology, which provides significant water repellency. While not fully waterproof, they offer excellent protection against snow and light rain.
How do the snow gaiters work?
Snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs located at the bottom of the trouser legs. They are designed to fit snugly over ski boots, creating a seal that prevents snow from entering your boots.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their breathability and stretch make them suitable for other cold-weather activities like snowboarding or even brisk hiking in snowy conditions, provided appropriate layering is used.
What is the advantage of the 4-way stretch fabric?
The 4-way stretch fabric allows the material to expand and contract in all four directions, providing exceptional freedom of movement and comfort during dynamic physical activity.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid using fabric softener during washing and consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically, especially after several washes.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.
Fit around ski boots is difficult.
Utilize the zip gussets at the ankle to widen the opening. Ensure the trousers are the correct size for your body and boot combination.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement.
Confirm you are wearing the correct size. The 4-way stretch fabric should provide ample room, so restriction may indicate a sizing issue or a misunderstanding of the intended fit.
