FAQs

What is the main advantage of the ARED 15/15 fabric?

The ARED 15/15 fabric offers a high level of waterproofing and breathability, keeping you dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?

While designed for skiing, they offer good protection. For very cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended for optimal warmth.

How do I care for the recycled polyester material?

Machine wash inside out with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Regular re-waterproofing treatments will help maintain performance.

Can I wear these trousers with different types of ski boots?

Yes, the bootcut fit and ankle zips are designed to accommodate most standard ski boots comfortably.

What does 'bootcut fit' mean for ski trousers?

A bootcut fit is slightly wider at the ankle than regular straight-leg trousers, designed to fit comfortably over the top of ski boots without bunching.

How do I ensure the trousers remain waterproof over time?

Regularly clean the trousers according to care instructions and reapply a DWR (durable water repellent) finish as needed, especially if water stops beading on the surface.

Are there other sizes and colors available?

Yes, this model is available in various sizes and colors. Please check the product listings for other options.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside.

Ensure the ARED 15/15 fabric's breathability is not compromised by built-up residue. Wash with a technical fabric cleaner and reapply DWR treatment if necessary. Check that all zips and closures are fully sealed.

Snow seeps into boots.

Make sure the snow gaiters are properly adjusted and secured around your ski boots. Ensure the ankle zips are fully closed.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These ski trousers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. They are designed for compatibility with standard ski boots, thanks to the bootcut fit and ankle zips. To maintain their performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the breathable membrane.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Re-waterproofing: Periodically reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to the outer fabric, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product's instructions for application, typically after washing and drying.
