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.

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.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of these salopettes?

The salopettes are waterproof to 8000mm.

What is the breathability rating?

They are breathable to 3000g/m².

How do I adjust the waist size?

The waist can be adjusted using the hook and loop fasteners located on the sides.

Can these be worn over ski boots?

Yes, the ankle gaiters are designed to fit over ski boots, and the gaiter includes a hook to secure to the boot laces.

How should I clean these salopettes?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a cool setting. Do not dry clean.

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.
