FAQs
What is the water resistance rating and what does it mean?
The salopettes have a 10K water resistance rating. This means they can withstand the equivalent of 10,000 millimeters of water in a 24-hour period, indicating good protection against rain and snow.
How breathable are these salopettes?
They offer 10g of breathability. This means 10,000g of moisture vapor can pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period, allowing internal moisture to escape.
Can the suspenders be removed?
Yes, the elastic suspenders are detachable, allowing you to wear the salopettes with or without them, depending on your preference and comfort.
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
The trousers provide a waterproof and windproof outer shell. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer with appropriate thermal base layers and mid-layers to ensure adequate insulation.
What type of material are the salopettes made from?
The salopettes are made using PVRE Green High, which incorporates recycled materials, and Polyester.
How should I clean my salopettes?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
What does 'critically taped seams' mean?
It means that the seams in high-stress and exposed areas of the garment have been sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water penetration through the stitching.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel wet inside
This could be due to insufficient breathability or moisture from sweat. Ensure the internal fabric is dry. Check that the breathability features are not blocked. For very high-intensity activities, consider a lighter base layer.
Water is leaking through seams
Ensure all critical seams are properly taped. If leakage persists, the tape may be damaged. Contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.
Suspenders are uncomfortable or not staying in place
Adjust the length of the suspenders for a better fit. Ensure they are securely attached. If uncomfortable, consider detaching them and relying on the adjustable waist.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Utilize the adjustable waist feature to cinch or loosen the fit. Ensure the regular fit is suitable for your preferred level of mobility. Consider the layer worn underneath.

- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
