FAQs
Are these trousers windproof?
Yes, the Cortina Extreme 3 Layer Trousers are constructed to be windproof, providing an essential shield against cold alpine gusts.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry these trousers. Check the specific care label on your garment, but avoid high heat as it can damage the waterproof coating.
What does the 10,000mm rating mean?
The rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before moisture begins to seep through, indicating high water resistance.
Do I need to wear a belt with these?
The trousers feature a wide waistband designed for a secure fit, but you can use a belt if you require additional adjustment.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While designed for skiing, their waterproof and breathable nature makes them suitable for cold-weather hiking in snow.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Apply a technical re-proofing spray and tumble dry on a low setting if the care label allows.
Feeling damp inside during high activity
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers. If your base layer is cotton, it will hold moisture against your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Cortina Extreme Trousers perform optimally, it is important to pair them with appropriate base layers. Given the high-performance design, avoid cotton base layers, which can trap sweat, and instead opt for synthetic or merino wool materials. When caring for your trousers, always wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical fabric wash rather than standard detergent, as standard soap can degrade the water-repellent finish. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the bonded fabric.
