FAQs

Are these pants windproof?

Yes, the construction is fully windproof to ensure warmth on windy mountain ridges.

Can I remove the braces?

The braces are adjustable, but they are integrated into the design to ensure a secure fit for active skiing.

What does 15/15K mean?

This refers to a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, providing excellent protection in severe weather.

Do these fit true to size?

Yes, these pants follow standard UK women's dress sizing; if you plan to wear thick base layers, ensure you account for the extra volume.

Are these suitable for snowboarding?

While designed with skiing in mind, the technical features like waterproof rating and snow gaiters make them highly capable for snowboarding as well.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may be worn off; clean the garment and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore water repellency.

Stiff or sticky zippers

Clean any debris or dried mud from the zipper track and apply a specialized silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Pants feel too tight when skiing

Adjust the shoulder braces to increase the rise and ensure the articulated knee sections are properly aligned with your joints.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof and breathability rating
  • Sophisticated cord-texture design
  • Enhanced mobility via articulated knees
  • Secure fit with adjustable braces
  • Windproof construction for extreme conditions

Cons

  • Textured material may be harder to wipe clean than smooth synthetics
  • Limited to one colorway option
  • Material may feel stiffer than stretch-fabric trousers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the pants for your first trip, adjust the braces to ensure the waist sits comfortably without tension. The pants are designed to be worn over thermal leggings or base layers for optimal thermal regulation.

Care instructions are straightforward but critical for maintaining the ARED coating:

  1. Always zip all closures before washing.
  2. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear—avoid fabric softeners as they clog the membrane.
  3. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
  4. Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if water beads start to diminish on the surface.
