FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
These trousers are water-resistant and snowproof, featuring a DWR finish. They are designed to keep children dry in snowy and moderately wet conditions, but they are not fully waterproof for prolonged immersion in heavy rain.
How do I clean the ski trousers?
You can machine wash them at 30°C with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Iron on a low heat if needed, and do not dry clean.
Can the braces be removed?
Yes, the braces are detachable, offering flexibility in how your child wears the trousers.
What is the purpose of the reinforced knee and scuff guards?
These areas are reinforced to increase durability and protect the fabric from wear and tear caused by kneeling, sliding, or contact with ski edges and boots.
How do the side zip ankles work?
The zippers on the outer ankles allow you to widen the leg opening, making it easier to put on and take off ski boots or other footwear without fully removing the trousers.
Are these trousers insulated?
The trousers feature a double-layered fabric construction which provides insulation. They are designed to be worn as an outer layer, often over thermal base layers.
What is the DWR finish?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water and snow to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the garment dry.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Ensure the DWR finish is still active. Re-apply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check seams for any damage.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zippers with a small brush to remove any debris. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Trousers feel too loose around the waist
Adjust the braces to their tightest setting. Consider using an internal adjustable waistband if available, or pair with a well-fitting base layer.
Snow Gaiter is not sealing properly
Ensure the gaiter is correctly positioned over the ski boot and secured. Check for any damage to the elastic or closure mechanism.
