Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray and allow it to dry according to the product instructions.
Feeling cold while skiing
These are shell trousers; ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath to trap body heat.
Zipper sticking or becoming difficult to pull

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Cortina Extreme Trousers, store them hanging in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight. When washing, use a mild, technical detergent designed for waterproof gear to avoid damaging the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and degrade performance. Ensure all zippers are closed before placing the garment in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. For best results, re-apply a DWR spray treatment annually to maintain the water-beading properties of the outer layer.
