FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the trousers are designed for winter sports and feature critical taping and ankle cuffs to keep cold and snow out. For extremely cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I clean the PRTCINNAMONES trousers?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does 'PFC-free waterproof finish' mean?
It means the trousers are treated to repel water using chemicals that do not contain perfluorinated compounds, which are considered harmful to the environment.
Can I adjust the fit of the waistband?
Yes, the trousers feature an adjustable anti-slip waistband with outside straps, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and security.
What is the benefit of the silicone grippers on the ankle cuffs?
The silicone grippers help to secure the trousers firmly onto your ski or snowboard boots, preventing snow from entering the pant legs and providing added stability.
What material are these trousers made from?
The main material is 100% polyester, with a significant portion being recycled materials as part of the PVRE Green series.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered for security. While the material offers water resistance, the primary waterproof protection is from the critically taped seams and the main fabric's finish. It's advisable not to store sensitive electronics in pockets during heavy precipitation.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all critical seams are properly taped and that the garment's waterproof treatment is intact. If water repellency has diminished, consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Waistband feels loose
Adjust the external straps on the anti-slip waistband to achieve a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the waistband is positioned correctly on your waist.
Snow entering at the ankle cuffs
Confirm that the elasticated ankle cuffs are fully extended over your boots and that the silicone grippers are making firm contact. Ensure the cuffs are not twisted or bunched up.
Pockets not closing securely
Check that the zippers on the pockets are functioning correctly and are fully zipped. Ensure no excess fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure the waistband is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit using the external straps. The zippered pockets should be closed to secure any items stored within.
Compatibility: The PRTCINNAMONES trousers are designed for skiing and snowboarding. The elasticated ankle cuffs are intended to fit over ski or snowboard boots.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof treatment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not iron.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the PFC-free waterproof finish may require reactivation. Follow the garment's care label for specific instructions, which may involve a specific wash or a low-heat tumble dry to restore performance.
