Product Information
Full details
These Mountain Warehouse Raptor Ski Trousers are designed for young girls aged 5-6 years, offering excellent protection and comfort for winter activities. Their key benefit is robust waterproofing and snowproof features, ensuring dryness in snowy conditions. A potential caveat to consider is that while designed for skiing, they might be slightly less flexible than dedicated performance ski pants for advanced skiers. The trousers are made from 100% Polyester with a DWR finish, featuring a part-elasticated waist, zip fly with stud fastening, and adjustable/detachable braces for a secure fit. Practical additions include two side zip pockets, reinforced knees, scuff guards, side zip ankles, and snow gaiters.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the polyester material and snowproof/water-resistant features provide good insulation and protection against cold and wet conditions typical of winter sports. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I re-apply the DWR finish?
DWR finishes can be reapplied using specific spray-on or wash-in treatments available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the instructions on the DWR product packaging carefully.
Can the braces be removed completely?
Yes, the braces are described as detachable, allowing you to wear the trousers without them if preferred.
What is the main difference between 'snowproof' and 'water-resistant'?
Snowproof means the fabric is designed to prevent snow from penetrating it, crucial for activities like skiing. Water-resistant means it can repel water to a certain extent, protecting against light rain or splashes, but may not withstand heavy downpours for extended periods.
What size children's UK shoes do these trousers fit?
This specific variant is size UK 5-6 years.
Are these trousers insulated?
The product description does not specify an insulated lining, but the 100% polyester fabric and protective features offer a layer of warmth suitable for winter activities. For very cold weather, layering is advisable.
Troubleshooting
Snow getting inside trousers
Ensure the snow gaiters are fully extended and pulled down over the top of ski boots or footwear. Check that the ankle zips are closed securely.
Trousers feel damp inside
While water-resistant, heavy prolonged exposure or high activity can lead to some moisture build-up. Ensure the garment is properly dried after use. For significant wetness, check the integrity of the DWR finish; reapply if necessary following product guidelines.
Braces not holding securely
Adjust the length of the braces to achieve a snug fit. Ensure they are correctly attached if detached. If the elastic is stretched, it may be time to consider replacement.
Zip on pocket or ankle is stiff
Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help ease a stiff zip.
