FAQs
What is the main benefit of the DWR finish?
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish helps water and snow to bead off the fabric's surface, providing resistance against light moisture and keeping you drier.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the provided UK sizing chart, which includes waist measurements for trousers. It is recommended to measure yourself accurately before purchasing.
Can this set be used in very cold temperatures?
The set provides good insulation, but for extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers for enhanced warmth.
How should I wash the ski set?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ironing. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does 'Integrated Snow Gaiters' mean?
Integrated snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs within the trouser legs designed to seal around your ski boots, preventing snow from entering the trousers.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features 4 pockets, offering convenient storage for essential items.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket has a grown-on hood with adjustable features for a customized fit and enhanced protection against the elements.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading off the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product instructions after cleaning.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the garment is properly dried. For microfibre fillings, tumble drying on a low heat can help restore loft and insulation. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce insulation.
Snow enters jacket or trousers
Ensure the integrated snowskirt (jacket) and snow gaiters (trousers) are properly fastened and adjusted around your body or ski boots. Check for any damage to these components.
