Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Swiss Insulated Ski Suit is designed for adult women who want a balance of technical performance and style during winter sports like skiing or snowboarding. Its primary benefit is the combination of thermal insulation with a water-resistant, breathable softshell exterior that keeps the wearer warm and dry in snowy conditions. While this suit offers excellent versatility and features like a detachable hood, potential buyers should note that as a one-piece garment, it requires careful sizing to ensure full range of motion during athletic activity.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this suit completely waterproof?
The suit is water-resistant, meaning it is designed to repel snow and light moisture. It is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain exposure.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable, providing you with versatility for different weather conditions and style preferences.
What should I wear underneath?
We recommend a synthetic or merino wool base layer. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and will make you feel cold.
How do I choose the right size?
Use a measuring tape to check your bust, waist, and hip measurements against the Mountain Warehouse size guide for a UK 20 fit.
Is the faux fur real?
No, the trim is made of high-quality synthetic faux fur.
Is the suit machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle, but please check the specific internal care label for temperature settings.
Troubleshooting
Water beads are no longer forming on the fabric surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a spray-on technical fabric re-waterproofer after washing.
Faux fur trim looks matted after storage
Gently shake the hood and use a soft-bristled brush to fluff the faux fur fibers back into place.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ski suit, always follow the care label instructions. Because the garment features faux fur and insulated tech fabrics, it is generally recommended to machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle with specialized technical outerwear detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant coating. Before storing, ensure the suit is completely dry to prevent mildew. For compatibility, the suit fits well over base layers, but avoid wearing heavy, bulky sweaters underneath, as this may restrict the natural stretch and comfort of the softshell design.
