FAQs
What is the waterproof and breathability rating?
The salopettes have a waterproof rating of 8,000mm and a breathability rating of 3,000 g/m2/24hrs.
How warm is the insulation?
They feature 60-gram synthetic insulation, suitable for mid-winter to spring skiing. For very cold conditions, layering with a base or mid-layer is recommended.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Yes, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What does 'DWR finish' mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating that makes water bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, helping to keep you dry.
Are these suitable for off-piste skiing?
Yes, the waterproof fabric, reinforced patches, and gaiters make them suitable for off-piste adventures, provided conditions do not exceed their temperature or breathability limits.
How do I adjust the waist?
The salopettes have an adjustable waist system, typically internal tabs or Velcro, allowing you to cinch or loosen the fit for comfort.
What material are they made from?
The outer fabric is 96% Polyamide and 4% Elastane, with a 100% Polyester lining.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric.
The DWR finish may need to be replenished. Clean the salopettes and reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Snow entering the boots.
Ensure the ankle gaiters are properly secured over your ski boots and the boot hook is attached correctly. Check gaiter integrity for any tears.
Waist feels too loose or tight.
Adjust the internal waist tabs to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the front closure is fastened correctly.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
