The Mountain Warehouse Swiss Insulated Ski Suit is designed for adult women who require a high-performance, stylish outer layer for skiing, snowboarding, and general winter adventures. It excels at providing warmth and protection in extreme cold, reaching down to -30 degrees Celsius, thanks to its advanced thermal insulation and water-resistant fabric. One caveat to keep in mind is that the faux fur trim on the hood adds significant bulk, which may not suit those who prefer a more streamlined, athletic profile for high-speed racing.

The product features a detachable faux fur trim, but the hood itself is typically integrated into the design.
The suit is water-resistant with a DWR coating, meaning it is designed for snow and light moisture, but it is not a fully waterproof rain suit.
We recommend a thermal base layer to maximize the effectiveness of the Isotherm technology.
It is best to detach the fur trim and gently hand wash or brush it to maintain the texture.
It is designed with a standard fit; if you prefer wearing very thick mid-layers, consider if your normal size provides enough room for layering.
Check that all cuffs are tightened and the hood is properly adjusted to seal out drafts; also ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Use a specialized zipper lubricant or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth to improve smoothness.
To ensure the longevity of your Swiss Ski Suit, follow these care guidelines. Always detach the faux fur trim before laundering the main garment. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for technical or outdoor clothing to avoid degrading the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the breathable fabric. After washing, ensure the suit is thoroughly dried, preferably by hanging it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Regularly check the adjustable cuffs and zippers to ensure no debris or ice has built up, which could affect their mechanical function. If you notice water beginning to soak into the fabric rather than beading on the surface, consider applying a garment-appropriate DWR re-proofer spray to restore the water-repellency.
