FAQs
What type of skiing are these trousers best suited for?
These trousers are designed for alpine skiing and snowboarding, offering performance features suitable for groomed slopes, off-piste, and varied conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to waist, hip, and inseam measurements. The stretch fabric offers some flexibility.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are made from high-performance softshell fabric, which typically offers water resistance and breathability. For extreme wet conditions, a dedicated waterproof shell might be considered, but these are excellent for typical ski days.
Can I wear base layers underneath?
Yes, these trousers are designed to be worn with thermal base layers for added warmth, especially in colder temperatures. The polyester material wicks moisture effectively.
How do the ankle cuff zips work?
The zips are located on the outside of the ankle cuffs, allowing you to widen the opening to easily fit over or around your ski boots without having to remove them.
What is the benefit of preformed knees?
Preformed knees are shaped to better match the natural bent-knee posture of skiing, providing greater comfort and a wider range of motion, reducing fatigue.
How should I clean the logo tape belt?
The logo tape belt can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth. If it requires washing, detach it if possible and follow the care instructions for the trousers.
Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Clean any debris that might be obstructing the zipper.
Snow getting inside the gaiters
Ensure the internal gaiters are properly pulled down and snug around your ski boots. Check for any tears or damage to the gaiter material.
Trousers feel restrictive
Confirm you are wearing the correct size. The preformed knees and stretch fabric should allow for a wide range of motion. Consider the layering underneath for warmth and bulk.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These ski trousers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear. They are compatible with most standard ski boots, with the ankle cuff zips designed to accommodate them. For care, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions, typically involving machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the performance of technical fabrics. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and water-repellent properties. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
