FAQs

What type of winter activities is this ski suit best suited for?

This ski suit is designed for performance on the slopes, including skiing and snowboarding. Its waterproof and insulated features also make it suitable for other winter activities like snowshoeing.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The suit features a tight fit for improved mobility. Utilize the elastic straps and tension hooks at the waist to adjust for a secure and comfortable fit. Consider your typical layering needs when choosing a size.

Is this suit suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the 3-layer softshell fabric lined with brushed fleece provides warmth and protection. For extremely cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.

How should I clean the ski suit?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, and do not tumble dry. Line dry the garment and iron at a low heat if necessary. Avoid dry cleaning.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that every stitch line on the garment has been sealed with a waterproof tape (in this case, Bemis 3L tape). This prevents water from penetrating the suit through the needle holes made during construction.

Can this ski suit be worn for casual winter outings?

While designed for performance, the distinctive 'Animal' print also makes it a stylish option for aprons-ski activities or casual winter wear, offering both comfort and a bold fashion statement.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Ensure the storm flap is tucked away properly. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Water is seeping through seams.

While seams are taped, persistent leaks might indicate damage to the tape. Check for any visible tears or peeling of the Bemis 3L tape. For minor issues, consider a seam sealer specifically designed for technical outerwear. Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely to maintain fabric integrity.

Suit feels too tight or restricts movement.

This suit is designed with a tight fit for mobility. Ensure you have adjusted the elastic straps and tension hooks at the waist for optimal fit. If the restriction is significant, it may indicate an incorrect size choice.

Fleece lining feels less warm after washing.

Ensure you are following the gentle cycle and line drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can degrade the fleece's insulating properties. Do not tumble dry, as this can damage the fibers.
