FAQs
Are these trousers machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Please avoid fabric softeners to protect the waterproof technology.
Do I need to wear base layers under these?
While the fleece lining is quite warm, wearing thermal base layers is recommended for very cold days on the mountain.
What is the purpose of the taped seams?
Taped seams prevent water from leaking through the tiny needle holes created during the stitching process, keeping you dry.
Can I adjust the waist size?
Yes, the trousers feature hook and loop waist adjusters for a tailored fit.
Are these suitable for hiking in the rain?
They are waterproof, but because they are heavily insulated and fleece-lined, they are best suited for cold snow environments rather than warm, rainy weather.
What material are the trousers made of?
They are constructed from durable polyester fabric with a microfibre filling for insulation.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric after long use
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; consider re-applying a technical spray-on proofing treatment.
Waist fit feels too loose
Adjust the hook and loop tabs on the side of the waistband to tighten the fit for a secure, stay-put feeling.
Snow getting inside the boot
Ensure the internal gaiter is pulled down fully over the top of your ski boot before engaging the outer trouser leg.

- Integrated gaiters effectively block snow entry

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, pull the trousers on over your chosen base layer. Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are tucked inside your ski boots before fastening your boots to create a complete seal against snow. To care for your Blizzard II trousers, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric and seams.
