FAQs
Can these trousers withstand -30C temperatures?
Yes, the Isotherm lining is specifically tested to provide effective heat retention in temperatures as low as -30C.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant fabric finish, which is excellent for snow sports, though they are not categorized as fully waterproof 'hard shells'.
How do I ensure the right size?
These trousers are sized by UK dress size. Consult the sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit, keeping in mind you will need room for a base layer underneath.
Is the material breathable?
While the fabric is durable and insulating, it is best suited for cold conditions. If you tend to run hot, consider wearing a thinner base layer to balance your body temperature.
Can I adjust the bib straps?
The bib design is integrated to offer maximum coverage and support during active winter sports.
Troubleshooting
Snow getting into boots
Ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled securely over the top of your ski boot shell.
Feeling overheated during activity
Reduce the thickness of your base layer to prevent excessive heat buildup inside the insulated lining.
Outer fabric holding water
The water-repellent finish may have worn off; clean the garment and apply a recommended DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Moon Bib Trousers, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layer underneath to manage sweat, as the thermal lining is designed to trap heat.
- Boot Compatibility: Pull the internal gaiters over your ski boots and ensure the elastic is snug to prevent moisture entry.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for water-resistant gear. Avoid harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant coating.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the structural integrity of the thermal lining and synthetic fabric.
- Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface after several seasons, apply a PFC-free re-waterproofing spray to restore the outer finish.
