FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

The Cortina Extreme trousers focus on a 3-layer shell design for protection. They are best paired with thermal leggings or base layers for warmth.

Do they come in different sizes?

Yes, these are available in a range of sizes from UK 8 to UK 18.

Can I use these for other winter activities?

Yes, they are suitable for snowboarding, snowshoeing, or general winter hiking where waterproof protection is needed.

What does the 10000mm rating mean?

This is a measure of waterproofness. It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before moisture penetrates.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets feature secure zip closures, but we recommend keeping sensitive electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket for maximum protection.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the surface fabric.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a technical reproofing spray to restore the water-beading properties.

Feeling damp inside the trousers.

This may be caused by condensation if you are wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath. Switch to synthetic or merino wool base layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weatherproofing for harsh snow conditions
  • Breathable 3-layer construction prevents overheating
  • Four zippered pockets offer ample storage for essentials
  • Snow gaiters provide an effective seal against boots
  • Reflective accents increase safety

Cons

  • 3-layer material may feel stiffer than standard ski pants
  • Best performance is limited to winter sports usage
  • Specific sizing (UK 12) may require careful layering underneath

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the fabric and the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, follow these guidelines:

  • Layering: Wear moisture-wicking thermal base layers underneath to maximize the breathability of the 3-layer system.
  • Compatibility: Ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled securely over your ski boots before fastening your outer shell.
  • Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR treatment.
  • Maintenance: Air dry away from direct heat sources. If water stops beading on the surface over time, apply a technical reproofing spray to restore the exterior water-repellent finish.
