FAQs
What does 10K waterproofing mean?
A 10K (10,000mm) waterproofing rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before it starts to seep through. This is suitable for moderate rain and snow conditions.
Are these salopettes suitable for extreme cold?
The salopettes offer good protection and breathability, but for very cold temperatures, layering with appropriate thermal base and mid-layers is recommended.
How do I clean the salopettes to maintain their performance?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Reapply waterproofing treatment periodically.
What is the benefit of the PFC-free finish?
A PFC-free finish means the water-repellent treatment does not contain per- and polyfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment. This makes the salopettes a more sustainable choice.
Can I adjust the fit of the salopettes?
The salopettes feature a fixed waistband and a slim fit. While they do not have adjustable waistbands, the ergonomic pre-shaping and stretch fabric are designed to provide a comfortable, adaptable fit.
How do I put on and take off the salopettes easily?
The long zipper at the front allows for convenient dressing and undressing. The zippered ankle closures also provide easier access over ski boots.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a PFC-free waterproofing treatment if necessary. Check all seams for damage.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Salopettes feel too tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The slim fit is designed to be close-fitting; consider if this fit is suitable for your activity level and preference.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside
Clean the garment according to care instructions, as dirt and residue can block fabric pores. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the water-repellent finish and fabric integrity:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Wash with similar colors.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
- Re-Waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider using a PFC-free re-waterproofing spray after washing, following the product's instructions.
