Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Moon II Ski Trousers are designed for adult women who require reliable warmth and weather protection during alpine sports or cold-weather outdoor activities.

FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
They are water-resistant and snowproof, meaning they perform well in snowy conditions but are not intended for use in heavy, sustained rain.
Can I remove the braces?
Yes, the braces are detachable, allowing you to wear the trousers with or without them depending on your preference.
What is the lowest temperature they can handle?
These trousers have been thermally tested and are rated for protection in temperatures as low as -20c.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers come in UK dress sizes. Use the elasticated waist and belt loops for a personalized fit, keeping in mind space for thermal layers underneath.
Do these trousers have pockets?
Yes, they feature two side pockets with zip fastenings for secure storage of small essentials.
How do the snow gaiters work?
The internal gaiters fit inside your ski boots and use touch-fastening closures to create a seal that prevents snow from moving up your leg.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may need reactivation or reapplication. Wash the garment and apply a high-quality DWR spray treatment.
Braces slipping during movement
Adjust the length of the detachable braces to ensure they sit snugly on your shoulders without creating excess slack.
Ankle zips sticking or catching
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clear any ice or debris from the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your trousers, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent suitable for technical fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the water-resistant coating may wear off. You can re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the snowproof performance.
- Storage: Ensure the trousers are completely dry before storing them in a cool, dark place to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
- Compatibility: These trousers are designed to fit over standard thermal base layers. The elastic waist and belt loops allow for minor size adjustments, while the ankle zips accommodate most standard ski boot profiles.
