FAQs
What type of weather are these salopettes best suited for?
These salopettes are designed for a range of winter conditions, from cold, snowy days to milder spring skiing. The 2-layer waterproof fabric, insulation, and breathable membrane provide protection and comfort in conditions like snow, sleet, and slush.
How do I adjust the waist for a better fit?
The salopettes feature an adjustable waist system, often with Velcro tabs or an internal drawcord, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and security. The fleece lining offers additional comfort.
What maintenance is required to keep them waterproof?
Regular cleaning with a technical wash detergent and reactivating the DWR treatment by low heat tumble drying after washing are recommended. If water stops beading, reapply a DWR treatment.
Are these salopettes warm enough for very cold temperatures?
The 60g synthetic insulation is adequate for mid-winter conditions. For extremely cold temperatures, layering with a warm base layer is advised.
What are the reinforced kick patches for?
The reinforced kick patches are located on the lower leg area to protect the fabric from damage caused by ski edges, abrasions, or impacts during skiing.
How do the ankle gaiters work?
The ankle gaiters are elasticated cuffs inside the lower leg of the salopettes. They are designed to fit snugly over ski boots to prevent snow from entering the top of the boot.
What material are the salopettes made of?
The outer fabric is a blend of 96% Polyamide and 4% Elastane, providing durability and stretch. The lining is 100% Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Ensure the DWR coating is still active. If not, wash the salopettes and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If performance doesn't improve, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Snow entering ski boots
Check that the ankle gaiters are fully extended and the boot hook is securely attached to your ski boot. Ensure the gaiter is pulled down correctly over the boot cuff.
Waist feels too tight or loose
Adjust the integrated waist closure system to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the fleece lining is not bunched up.
Reduced breathability causing internal dampness
Ensure the internal breathable membrane is not blocked by dirt or debris. Wash according to care instructions with a technical wash. Check that you are not wearing excessively insulating base layers that may be causing condensation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The ankle gaiters are designed to fit over most ski boots. Ensure the boot hook within the gaiter is securely fastened to your boot for maximum effectiveness.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the waterproof and DWR coatings:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F). Use a technical wash detergent designed for waterproof outerwear; avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. A low heat tumble dry can help reactivate the DWR treatment.
- Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, re-apply a PFC-free DWR treatment according to the product's instructions, usually after washing and drying.
