Are the braces included and detachable?
Yes, the salopettes come with detachable braces that can be removed if not needed.
How do I clean the salopettes?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does 'PFC-free water repellent' mean?
It means the garment has been treated with a water-repellent finish that does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for various winter outdoor activities like snowboarding, snowshoeing, or even general cold-weather hiking, provided the conditions match the garment's specifications.
How durable is the bottom hem?
The bottom hem features a reinforced pant hem and an anti-scuff panel designed to resist abrasion from ski edges and boots, enhancing durability.
What kind of insulation do these pants have?
They utilize 'Feel Warm Flat gr.60' insulation, designed to provide warmth without excessive bulk.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel wet inside during activity
Ensure the snow gaiter is properly sealed around your boots. Check that all zippers are fully closed. If the issue persists, the garment's breathability may be overwhelmed by high exertion or external moisture may be penetrating through a damaged seam or zipper; consider re-waterproofing or inspecting for damage.
Water is leaking through seams
Verify that all seams are indeed fully taped. If taping appears damaged or is peeling, professional repair may be required. Ensure zippers are fully closed and waterproof.
Waistband adjustment slips
Ensure the Velcro tabs are clean and free of lint. Re-apply firmly. If the Velcro is worn out, consider a temporary solution like a ski belt or replacement Velcro strips.
Snow gaiter is too tight/loose
The snow gaiter is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight, ensure it's positioned correctly over your boot. If it's too loose, snow may enter; consider adjusting your boot or using the gaiter's non-slip silicone print to help it grip.
