Product Information
Full details
The Fusalp Kira Ski Suit is designed for adult women seeking a blend of style, warmth, and protection on the ski slopes. Its key benefit is combining a quilted, insulated upper with a stretch softshell lower for optimal performance and freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that its body-hugging silhouette means those between sizes should consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

FAQs
What type of insulation does the upper body have?
The upper body features synthetic down insulation, providing warmth without excessive bulk.
Is the Fusalp Kira Ski Suit suitable for heavy rain?
The suit has a waterproof, windproof, and water-repellent upper fabric, offering significant protection against snow and moderate rain. For extremely heavy downpours, its performance may vary.
How should I determine the correct size?
The suit is designed for a regular, body-hugging fit. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to take the size above for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear multiple layers underneath this ski suit?
Yes, you can wear layers underneath. However, due to its body-hugging silhouette, it's best to opt for thin base layers to maintain comfort and freedom of movement.
What is the purpose of the snow gaiters?
Snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs located at the leg hems, designed to prevent snow from entering your ski boots.
How do I restore the water repellency after washing?
To reactivate water repellency, you can either tumble dry the suit with three tennis balls or iron it on the outside (without steam) at a maximum of 110°C. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning can be used.
What materials are used in the construction of the suit?
The upper body is made of 85% polyester and 15% polyurethane. The lower body consists of 48% polyester, 33% polyamide, 12% elastane, and 7% polyurethane. The lining is 100% polyamide, and the filling is 100% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels tight or restrictive
Consider sizing up, as the suit has a body-hugging silhouette. Ensure the adjustable waist is loosened if needed.
Water is seeping through the fabric
The water-repellent treatment may need reactivation. Follow the specific tumble-drying or ironing instructions in the care section. Ensure all zippers and seams are fully closed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of wax can be applied.
Inner lining feels damp after use
This might indicate a need for better ventilation or that the garment's breathability is being overwhelmed. Ensure you are not excessively layering underneath, and check that the suit is properly dried after washing.
