Full details

The Trespass Northaway Salopettes are high-performance outdoor trousers designed for active children who need reliable protection against cold, wintry conditions. These salopettes offer a key benefit of combining thermal insulation with breathable fabric technology, ensuring comfort during extended play without the risk of overheating. A notable caveat is that while they are designed for durability, the polyester material requires proper care to maintain its weather-resistant properties over time.

FAQs

Are these salopettes waterproof?

They are designed with water-resistant technology to protect against cold and damp conditions, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof like heavy-duty mountain gear.

Can the braces be removed completely?

Yes, the braces are detachable, allowing the garment to be worn as regular high-waisted winter trousers.

What should my child wear underneath?

For optimal performance, we recommend moisture-wicking thermal base layers to maximize the benefits of the breathable fabric.

How do I know if the size fits correctly?

The child should have full range of motion in the knees when kneeling. If the salopettes feel tight when squatting, consider a larger size or loosening the braces.

Can I tumble dry these?

We recommend air drying. Tumble drying with heat can degrade the integrity of the synthetic insulation and the technical fabric coating.

Troubleshooting

Ankle gaiters are not staying over the boots

Ensure the gaiter elastic is positioned firmly around the boot shaft and pulled down before tightening the boot laces.

Braces slipping off shoulders

Adjust the length of the detachable braces using the integrated buckles to ensure a tighter fit across the torso.

Zippers feel stiff or stuck

Check for trapped fabric or debris inside the zipper track. If dirty, gently clean with a soft brush and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold weather
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during play
  • Articulated knees provide superior freedom of movement
  • Kick patches add longevity in high-wear areas
  • Detachable braces offer versatile wearing options

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof (standard water-resistant construction)
  • Braces may need occasional adjustment for smaller children
  • Polyester material can snag on sharp brambles or hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best fit, adjust the detachable braces before heading out into the cold; ensure they are snug but not constricting. The elasticated waist provides some flexibility, but the sizing should be checked against thick base layers typically worn underneath.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the breathable water-resistant coatings.
  • Air dry the salopettes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the insulating fibers.
  • Periodically inspect the kick patches and zippers to ensure they remain clear of debris after muddy or slushy conditions.
