FAQs
Does the Fusalp Clarisse Metal ski suit run true to size?
The product description indicates that the suit usually runs small, so it is recommended to consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
How do I wash the ski suit?
Machine wash at max 30°C, inside out and separately. Close all zips before washing. Avoid optical brighteners and fabric softeners.
Can I tumble dry the suit?
Yes, tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore the fluffiness of the filling. Alternatively, professional dry cleaning is an option.
What material is the suit made from?
The body is made of 85% polyester and 15% polyurethane. The lower body is composed of 48% polyester, 33% polyamide, 12% elastane, and 7% thermoplastic polyurethane. The lining is 100% polyamide, and the filling is 100% polyester.
Is the suit suitable for extreme cold?
The suit is insulated with synthetic filling and features a Fusalp-approved membrane with a fleece lining, designed for protection on the slopes. For extreme conditions, layering may be advised.
How should I iron the suit?
Iron on the outside at a maximum of 110°C without steam, using a protective cloth over the garment.
What are the benefits of the padded knee panels?
The padded knee panels provide extra comfort and improved mobility, which is beneficial during skiing, snowboarding, or any activity requiring knee flexion.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels tight or restrictive
Consider ordering a size up, as this model is noted to run small. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully open during movement tests.
Reduced insulation effectiveness
Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to re-fluff the synthetic filling. Ensure the garment is completely dry before wearing.
Water not beading off the surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need replenishing. Consult Fusalp or specialist outdoor retailers for appropriate re-waterproofing treatments suitable for technical fabrics.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth if needed.
