FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, they feature high warmth insulation and padding, making them suitable for cold weather skiing. Pairing with a good base layer is recommended for extreme conditions.
How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?
Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, and consider reapplying a DWR finish periodically to maintain performance.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While optimized for skiing, their waterproofing and insulation make them suitable for other snow-based activities like snowboarding or general winter hiking, though they may be warmer than necessary for strenuous hiking.
What is the lining made of?
The lining is made from recycled polyester, offering a comfortable fit and a more sustainable material choice.
How do the snow gaiters work?
Integrated snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs at the bottom of the trousers designed to fit over your ski boots, preventing snow from getting inside your trousers.
What is the purpose of the articulated knees?
Articulated knees are pre-shaped sections in the fabric that allow for greater freedom of movement and flexibility when bending your knees, enhancing comfort and performance during skiing.
Are there belt loops on these trousers?
Yes, the trousers feature belt loops, allowing you to wear a belt for a more secure fit if desired.
Troubleshooting
Water not repelling effectively after several uses
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Follow care instructions to wash and then use a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment for outdoor fabrics.
Zippers feel stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zippers gently with a damp cloth and then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth. Ensure zippers are fully closed before washing.
Trousers feel cold or lack insulation
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath. The insulation is designed to work with a thin thermal layer. Check that the snow gaiters are properly sealed around your boots.
