FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the trousers offer high warmth and are insulated. For very cold conditions, layering with appropriate thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide for accurate measurements. The snug fit means precise sizing is important for comfort and mobility. The adjustable waist offers some flexibility.
Can these trousers be worn for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof, breathable, and durable features make them suitable for other outdoor winter activities such as snowboarding, hiking, or general cold-weather wear.
What does 'Taped Seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that the seams of the garment are sealed with a special tape, preventing water from penetrating through the stitching holes. This is crucial for waterproofing.
How long does the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish last?
The DWR finish effectiveness will naturally decrease over time and with wear. Periodic re-proofing, as per care instructions, is recommended to maintain its performance.
Are the trousers lined?
Yes, the trousers have a lining made of recycled polyester for added comfort and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions and consider re-proofing if water repellency has diminished.
Snow entering around the boot cuffs
Check that the snow gaiters are fully extended and fitted snugly over the top of your ski boots. Ensure they are not twisted or caught.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.
Waistband feels too tight or loose
Adjust the elasticated waistband using the internal adjusters for a personalized fit. Ensure the button and zip fly are securely fastened.
