FAQs
Are these salopettes suitable for extreme cold weather?
The 60g synthetic insulation provides good warmth for typical winter conditions. For extremely cold temperatures, layering with a warm base and mid-layer is recommended.
How do I clean the salopettes?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What does 'PFC-free DWR' mean?
PFC-free means the Durable Water Repellent finish does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment. It helps water bead off the fabric's surface.
Can I use these for snowboarding as well as skiing?
Yes, the design and features, including reinforced kick patches and boot gaiters, make them suitable for both skiing and snowboarding.
How do I re-apply the waterproof treatment?
After several washes, the DWR finish may need refreshing. Use a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer specifically for outdoor apparel, following the manufacturer's instructions.
What is the purpose of the fleece-lined waist?
The fleece lining in the adjustable waist provides extra comfort and a bit of additional warmth around your core area.
What are the main materials used in the salopettes?
The outer fabric is primarily Polyamide with Elastane for stretch (96% Polyamide / 4% Elastane), and the lining is 100% Polyester. The insulation is 100% synthetic.
Troubleshooting
Salopettes feel damp inside
This could be due to exceeding the breathability limit during intense activity, or moisture from sweat. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. If the issue persists in moderate conditions, the DWR finish might need refreshing, or the fabric's waterproof membrane could be compromised. Clean the garment according to care instructions.
Snow entering boots
Ensure the ankle gaiters are fully extended and properly secured over your boots using the internal hook. Make sure the gaiter is snug around the boot cuff.
Waist feels too tight or loose
Adjust the internal drawcord or Velcro tabs on the adjustable waist to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. The fleece lining provides added comfort.
Reinforced kick patches showing signs of wear
This is a sign the patches are performing their intended function. Regular cleaning and care will help prolong their effectiveness. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
