Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure seams are properly taped and the DWR treatment is active. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary.
Feeling cold in very low temperatures
The trousers are rated to -15°C. For colder conditions, consider adding a warmer base layer underneath.
Reduced breathability leading to clamminess
Ensure the garment is clean and free from dirt and oils. Wash with a technical cleaner and ensure the DWR is not overly applied, which can sometimes reduce breathability. Check for blockages in any ventilation zips if present (not mentioned in product info).
Snow ingress at the boot line
Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are correctly positioned and tucked inside your ski boots. Tighten any drawcords on the gaiters if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance of the waterproof and insulating properties:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean towels. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric. Alternatively, hang dry and iron on a low setting (no steam) to reactivate the DWR.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment to maintain maximum water repellency.
