FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

They feature Omni-Tech™ waterproof-breathable fabric and critically taped seams, which provide excellent protection in most snow conditions.

Can I wear these for spring skiing?

Yes, the breathable fabric and lightweight 60gsm insulation make them adaptable to the temperature swings often found in spring.

How should I clean the thermal-reflective lining?

Follow the standard machine wash instructions; the Omni-Heat™ lining is durable and does not require special cleaning agents.

Do these pants have pockets?

Yes, they include secure pockets designed to keep small essentials safe while you are on the mountain.

Are the hems reinforced?

Yes, the trousers feature reinforced hems to protect against wear and tear from ski edges and boots.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the fabric surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a technical DWR spray and tumble dry on low to reactivate the treatment.

Gaiters slipping out of boots

Ensure the elastic hem of the gaiter is pulled securely over the shell of the boot rather than the liner.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight insulation prevents bulkiness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Bugaboo™ III trousers, follow these care guidelines:

  • Adjustment: Use the integrated adjustable waist straps to tighten the fit before heading out to ensure the pants stay in place during physical activity.
  • Layering: While insulated, these trousers are designed to be used with a thermal base layer for extreme cold days.
  • Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof coating.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting, or air dry to maintain the integrity of the thermal-reflective lining.
  • Durability: Periodically check the reinforced hems to ensure they remain clear of debris that could cause abrasion over time.
