FAQs
What does 'ARED 20/30' mean?
ARED 20/30 refers to the fabric's rating for breathability and waterproofness. It indicates a high level of protection against water and good breathability, suitable for demanding outdoor activities.
How do I clean the ski pants?
Machine wash at 40°C using a pure soap. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Rinse thoroughly and hang dry.
Can I wear these pants without the braces?
Yes, the braces are detachable, allowing you to wear the pants without them if preferred.
Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?
These pants are designed for winter sports and provide excellent protection. For extremely cold conditions, layering with appropriate base and mid-layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
What is the benefit of reinforced hems?
Reinforced hems are designed to resist wear and tear from ski edges and boots, prolonging the life of the pants in high-friction areas.
How should I care for the waterproofing over time?
To maintain the water-repellent finish, re-waterproof the garment periodically using a suitable spray-on or liquid proofer, following the manufacturer's instructions for the proofing product.
What is the fit like?
These pants have a 'Slimmer Fit', meaning they are designed to be more fitted than a standard or loose-fit pant, offering a streamlined silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you are using the correct size. If the issue persists, consider wearing thinner base layers or trying a different model with a more relaxed fit. The 4-way stretch should offer significant flexibility.
Snow is getting inside the pants
Check that the integrated snowgaiters are properly secured around your ski boots. Ensure there are no gaps where snow can enter.
Water is leaking through the fabric
The ARED 20/30 fabric is highly waterproof, but performance can degrade over time. Consider re-waterproofing the garment following the care instructions.
Braces are uncomfortable or not staying attached
Adjust the length of the braces for a comfortable fit. Ensure they are securely clipped to the attachment points. If they continue to detach, check for any damage to the clips or attachment loops.
