Full details
The Edge Kids' Vail Stretch Salopettes in Black (size 9-10) are designed for young adventurers seeking waterproof and breathable protection for outdoor activities. Their key benefit is providing freedom of movement while keeping kids dry and comfortable in various weather conditions. A potential consideration is ensuring the size is appropriate for a snug fit, as overly loose salopettes might hinder movement for very active children. Key features include stretch fabric, articulated knees, adjustable waist, and snow gaiters.

They are breathable to 3000g/m².
How do I adjust the waist size?

How should I clean these salopettes?

Are these suitable for very cold weather?
These salopettes provide a waterproof and windproof outer layer. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base and mid-layers is recommended.
What are the reinforced areas for?
The hem and instep are reinforced to provide extra durability against abrasion from ski edges, boots, or rough terrain.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading on the fabric surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the salopettes and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.
Salopettes feel damp inside during activity
This could be due to reduced breathability or exceeding the fabric's limits. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog pores. For intense activity, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow them to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth.
