FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing?
Yes, the design, features, and material provide excellent performance and protection suitable for both skiing and snowboarding.
How do I clean the ARED 30/30 fabric?
Wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Close all zippers before washing.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for the DWR finish?
PFC-free means the Durable Water Repellent finish does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Can I wear base layers underneath?
Yes, the trousers are designed to accommodate base layers for added warmth. The snug fit ensures they won't bunch up uncomfortably.
How do the reinforced ankle overlays help?
These overlays protect the fabric at the inner ankle from abrasion caused by ski edges, increasing the durability of the trousers.
What is the 'Tab Up' hem feature?
The 'Tab Up' feature typically refers to a mechanism or design at the hem that allows you to shorten or secure the trouser leg length when not wearing ski boots, preventing them from dragging.
Is the waistline adjustable?
Yes, the waistline is elasticated and adjustable, allowing for a more customized and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or restrictive
Adjust the elasticated waistband using the internal adjusters. Ensure the correct size was purchased, as the fit is designed to be snug.
Water seeping through fabric
Check if the DWR finish needs reapplication. Ensure all seams are intact and zippers are fully closed. Wash the trousers as per care instructions.
Snow entering boots
Ensure the snow gaiters are pulled down correctly over your ski boots and secured.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zippers. If still stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
