FAQs
Is this set fully waterproof?
The set is described as 'snowproof' and treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR), making it water-resistant. While suitable for snow and light rain, it may not be fully waterproof in prolonged heavy downpours.
How do I clean the ski set?
The set can be machine washed, typically on a gentle cycle at 30°C, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Regular reapplication of DWR is recommended to maintain performance.
What is the warranty period?
The ski jacket and pants set includes a two-year warranty for guaranteed quality.
Can the hood be removed?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it for different weather conditions or preferences.
Are the braces on the pants adjustable?
Yes, the braces are both adjustable and detachable, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and style.
What material is the insulation made from?
The insulation is a microfibre filling, providing excellent heat retention as a synthetic alternative to down.
What does 'snowproof' mean in this context?
'Snowproof' combined with DWR treatment means the fabric is designed to resist snow penetration and light moisture, keeping you dry during typical winter sports activities.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite DWR treatment
Ensure the DWR treatment is still effective. Reapply a DWR coating according to the product instructions. Check that all zips are fully closed and the snowskirt and gaiters are properly sealed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Padded insulation feels less warm
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can mat down the insulation. Check for any damage to the outer fabric that might be letting cold air in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers.
Braces are uncomfortable or slipping
Adjust the length of the braces for a snug but not tight fit. Ensure the braces are securely attached to the pants. If detachable, reattach them ensuring a firm connection.
