Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil.
Snow gaiter is not staying securely around the boot.
Ensure the boot hook is properly engaged with the boot lace or sole. Adjust the elasticated cuff for a tighter fit.
Child feels too warm or sweaty.
This may indicate the need for more ventilation or lighter layers underneath. Ensure the clothing worn underneath is also breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These salopettes require no complex setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. They are designed for compatibility with various winter boots, thanks to the adjustable ankle gaiters and boot hooks. To care for the salopettes and maintain their waterproof and breathable properties, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Do not iron.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, especially after several washes, consider using a technical wash-in or spray-on re-proofer designed for waterproof outerwear to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
