FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
The trousers feature a DWR finish and are snowproof and water-resistant, meaning they are designed to keep children dry in snowy and wet conditions. However, they are not rated as fully waterproof for prolonged immersion.
How do I adjust the braces?
The braces are adjustable for length. You can typically find sliders or clips on the braces to lengthen or shorten them to achieve a comfortable fit. They are also detachable for easier washing or if preferred not to be used.
What is the function of the side zip ankles?
The side zip ankles allow for easier fitting of the trousers over ski or snowboard boots. They also often incorporate snow gaiters to create a seal and prevent snow from entering the top of the boots.
What material are the trousers made from?
The trousers are made from 100% Polyester.
Can these trousers be worn for general winter play, not just skiing?
Yes, their durable and water-resistant features make them suitable for various outdoor winter activities, including playing in the snow.
How should I clean the trousers?
It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat, following the specific care label instructions on the garment.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the DWR finish is still effective. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor gear. Also, check that snow gaiters are properly sealed and that no snow entered via the ankle zips.
Braces are not staying in place
Adjust the braces to a tighter setting. If they continue to slip, ensure they are correctly attached or consider if the size is appropriate.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers require minimal setup. Ensure the braces are adjusted to a comfortable length and securely fastened. If detachable, reattach them as needed. Check that the side zips at the ankles are fully closed after putting them on over boots.
Compatibility: The design of the trousers, particularly the side zip ankles and snow gaiters, is optimized for compatibility with ski or snowboard boots. They can also be worn comfortably with other winter footwear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the water-resistant properties, it is recommended to wash the trousers according to the care label. Typically, this involves machine washing on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade the DWR finish. Air drying is often preferred, or tumble drying on a low heat setting, again following the garment's specific instructions.
