FAQs
What makes these pants 'snowproof'?
The pants are treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making the fabric water-resistant and capable of shedding snow and light rain. This is suitable for typical snow conditions on the slopes.
Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, they are insulated for extra warmth, making them suitable for cold mountain environments. For extreme cold, layering base thermals underneath is recommended.
Can I remove the braces completely?
Yes, the braces are designed to be both adjustable and detachable, allowing you to wear the pants with or without them.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These pants feature a wide and comfortable fit with an elasticated waist. It's important that they fit comfortably around the waist and hips without being too tight or too loose. The braces can help adjust the fit if the waist feels a bit loose.
What type of skiing are these pants best for?
They are ideal for entry-level skiers and recreational use due to their comfort, warmth, and practical features. They are well-suited for general slope skiing and snowboarding.
How often should I re-apply the water repellent treatment?
Re-apply the DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. This typically depends on usage frequency and washing habits, but often every few washes or at the start of a ski season is sufficient.
What material are the ski pants made of?
The pants are made from a durable polyester material designed for outerwear, treated with a water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel too loose despite elasticated waist.
Utilize the detachable and adjustable braces for a more secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider if the intended 'wide and comfortable fit' is suitable for your preference.
Snow seeping into boots.
Ensure the snow gaiters are properly positioned over or inside your ski boots and are zipped up tightly. Check that the gaiter elastic is still effective; if worn, consider a gaiter repair or replacement.
Fabric is no longer repelling water (beading).
Wash the pants according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the existing DWR treatment. If performance does not improve, apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little soap and water. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These ski pants require minimal setup. Ensure the detachable braces are adjusted to your comfort and securely fastened if you choose to use them. Check that the elasticated waist provides a snug fit without restricting movement.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for skiing and snowboarding, these pants are compatible with standard ski boots. The integrated snow gaiters are intended to fit over or inside ski boot cuffs. They are suitable for adult women, with this specific model in a UK size 14.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the snowproof fabric and insulation:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the technical fabric and reduce its water-repellent properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. For best results and to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, tumble dry for 20 minutes after air drying.
- Re-waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a suitable DWR re-waterproofing spray or wash-in product following the manufacturer's instructions, often involving a gentle tumble dry to activate.
