Product Information
Full details
These EA7 Technical Softshell Ski Trousers in brown are designed for adult women seeking performance and style on the slopes. They offer excellent comfort and practicality with their stretch softshell fabric and functional details. A potential consideration is that the softshell material, while offering stretch and water resistance, may not provide the same level of insulation as a heavily padded ski pant for extreme cold conditions.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
These trousers are made from high-performance softshell fabric, offering good wind and water resistance. For extremely cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended for additional insulation.
What type of detergent should I use for washing?
Use a mild, liquid detergent specifically formulated for technical outdoor apparel. Avoid detergents containing bleach or fabric softeners.
Can I iron these trousers?
No, ironing is not recommended as the heat can damage the softshell fabric and its membrane. Always air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
How do I adjust the fit?
The fit can be adjusted using the integrated logo tape belt. The preformed knees and stretch fabric also contribute to a comfortable fit during activity.
What is the benefit of preformed knees?
Preformed knees are ergonomically shaped to follow the natural bend of the leg, providing greater freedom of movement and reducing fabric bunching or pulling while skiing.
How do the internal gaiters work?
The internal gaiters are elasticated cuffs located inside the trouser legs that fit snugly over your ski boots. They create a seal to prevent snow from entering your boots.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive
Ensure the logo tape belt is adjusted correctly and not over-tightened. The preformed knees may require a slight adjustment in posture to feel most comfortable during active movement.
Snow entering ski boots
Check that the internal gaiters are fully extended and properly sealed around your ski boots. Ensure the ankle zips are securely fastened.
Reduced water repellency after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Reapply a DWR treatment designed for technical softshell fabrics according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trousers require no specific setup. Ensure the internal gaiters are properly positioned over your ski boots and the ankle zips are fastened securely. Adjust the logo tape belt for a comfortable fit.

Care: To maintain the performance of the softshell fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor wear. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the softshell membrane and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not bleach or iron.
- Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after several washes, following the product’s instructions.
