FAQs
What is ILUS D-Lab Softshell technology?
ILUS D-Lab Softshell is a fabric technology that offers a balance of windproofing, water resistance, and breathability, designed to keep you comfortable during outdoor activities.
Are these trousers waterproof or water-repellent?
These trousers are water-repellent, meaning they can resist water penetration to a certain degree, suitable for light rain or snow. They are not fully waterproof.
How do I know if the slim bootcut fit will work with my ski boots?
The slim bootcut is designed to fit over most standard ski boots. The zip gusset can provide some adjustment. It's recommended to try them on with your specific ski boots if possible.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their stretch and water-repellent properties make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where similar protection is needed, though the bootcut may be less ideal for non-skiing use.
How much recycled material is used in these trousers?
The trousers are crafted from a blend of 60% Recycled Polyester and 40% Polyester, with the recycled polyester component contributing to sustainability.
What is the purpose of the snow gaiters?
Snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs located at the bottom of the trousers. They are designed to fit snugly around your ski boots to prevent snow from entering your boots and lower legs.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside.
Ensure the trousers are not too tight, check that the snow gaiters are properly sealed, and allow for ventilation by opening the zip gusset if needed. Follow washing instructions carefully to maintain breathability.
Water is not repelling effectively.
The water-repellent finish may need reapplication. Use a suitable reproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
Zippers are stiff.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.
