FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, they are thermally tested to -20°C and feature microfibre filling for high warmth and insulation, making them suitable for extreme cold conditions.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The trousers have a part-elasticated waist, belt loops, and adjustable braces to help you achieve a secure and customized fit. The ankle cuffs also feature touch fastening for adjustment.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their warmth and water resistance make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities like winter hiking or snowshoeing.
How should I wash these ski trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.
What does DWR finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep you dry.
Are the ankle zippers functional for ventilation?
The side zip ankles are primarily designed to help you put the trousers on and take them off easily over ski boots and to adjust the fit. They are not intended as ventilation zippers.
What material is used for insulation?
The trousers are filled with microfibre, which provides excellent heat retention and insulation properties.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight around the waist
Utilize the adjustable braces or wear a belt with the belt loops for a more comfortable fit.
Snow is getting into boots
Ensure the side zip ankles are securely fastened and the snow gaiters are properly positioned over your boots.
Reduced water repellency after several uses
Clean the trousers according to care instructions and consider re-applying a DWR treatment to restore water-resistant properties.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax.
