FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing?
Yes, the design, features like waterproofing, breathability, and durability make them suitable for both skiing and snowboarding.
How do I clean the waterproof zippers?
You can clean waterproof zippers by gently brushing away any dirt or debris with a soft brush and warm water. For smoother operation, a silicone-based lubricant or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth.
What is the purpose of the side leg ventilation?
The side leg ventilation zips are designed to increase airflow and breathability during strenuous activity, helping to regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating.
How do I re-activate the DWR finish on the trousers?
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can often be reactivated by tumble drying the trousers on a low heat setting. If this is insufficient, a DWR treatment can be reapplied using a spray or wash-in product.
Can I wear these trousers without the braces?
Yes, the braces are detachable, allowing you to wear the trousers using only the adjustable waist for a comfortable and secure fit.
What material are the trousers made from?
The trousers are made from polyester with stretch fabric for comfort and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside despite no external wetness.
Ensure ventilation zips are open when needed for breathability. Check that internal seams are intact and that the fabric's DWR treatment is still effective. If DWR has worn off, reapply a suitable treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper.
Braces are uncomfortable or not staying in place.
Adjust the length of the braces for a more comfortable fit. If they continue to slip, ensure they are securely attached. Consider detaching them if you prefer a waist-only fit, using the adjustable waist band.
Ankle gaiters do not fit snugly around boots.
Adjust the hook-and-loop or snap closures on the ankle gaiters for a tighter seal around your ski boots. Ensure they are correctly positioned over the top of your boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These ski trousers require minimal setup. Ensure the braces are attached or detached as desired and adjust the waist using the internal adjusters for a secure fit. Check that the ankle zips and gaiters are correctly positioned before skiing.
Compatibility: Designed for skiing and snowboarding, these trousers are compatible with standard ski boots and winter outerwear. The fit is intended for adult males, with adjustable features to accommodate various body types.
Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the trousers:
- Wash at a low temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C) using a technical wash detergent designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Tumble drying can help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- If the DWR finish appears to be wearing off (water no longer beads on the surface), apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to product instructions.
