FAQs
Are these salopettes waterproof?
Yes, they feature a 10,000 mm water-repellent finish and fully taped seams to protect against snow and moisture.
Can I use these for backcountry skiing?
While they offer 10,000 g breathability, high-exertion touring may require more specialized, thinner gear. They are primarily optimized for resort use.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can damage the water-repellent properties.
What is the PVRE Green series?
The PVRE Green series is Protest’s initiative to create high-performance technical gear using recycled and sustainable materials.
Do the straps adjust?
Yes, the straps are adjustable to provide a secure and customized fit for different torso lengths.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the seams after long use
Re-apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric after washing.
Difficulty moving in the leg area
Adjust the waistband and check that the pre-shaped knees are aligned with your actual knee joints.
Snow getting inside the cuffs
Ensure the elasticated inner cuff is pulled fully over the top of the boot before securing the outer leg shell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your salopettes, adjust the waistband before heading to the mountain to ensure a snug fit over your base layers. The elasticated inner cuffs are designed to fit securely over most ski and snowboard boots; pull these down over your boots before tightening your bindings to ensure a clean seal.
For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent coating. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the integrity of the technical fabrics.
