Product Information

Full details

This Mountain Warehouse Women's Ski Jacket and Trousers Set is designed for adult women participating in winter sports, offering a complete, insulated outfit. Its key benefit is providing comprehensive warmth and water repellency for snowy conditions. A potential consideration is that it's crafted from 100% polyester, which may offer less breathability than some technical fabrics. The set includes a jacket and trousers featuring Microfibre filling for insulation, DWR Finish for water repellency, adjustable elements for a secure fit, and practical additions like snow gaiters and a snowskirt.

FAQs

Is this set suitable for extreme cold or heavy precipitation?

This set is designed for moderate cold and snowy conditions with its Microfibre insulation and DWR finish. For extreme cold or heavy, prolonged precipitation, consider adding additional thermal layers or a more technically rated waterproof garment.

How do I clean the jacket and trousers?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Will I need to reapply the water repellent treatment?

Yes, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time with use and washing. It is recommended to reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain its effectiveness, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.

Can I wear thick layers underneath this set?

The set is designed to accommodate base and mid-layers. Ensure you select the appropriate size for comfortable layering without restricting movement.

What is the main purpose of the DWR Finish?

The DWR finish helps repel water, preventing light snow and moisture from soaking into the fabric, thereby helping to keep you dry and maintaining the garment's insulation properties.

What does 'grown-on design' for the hood mean?

A 'grown-on' hood means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, designed as an integral part of the jacket's structure, rather than being detachable.

Are the trousers waterproof or just water-repellent?

The trousers feature a DWR finish, which makes them water-repellent, suitable for repelling light moisture like snow. They are not fully waterproof and may not perform well in prolonged heavy rain or wet snow conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure washing has been done correctly without fabric softener.

The jacket or trousers feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the integrated features: tighten or loosen the cuffs, braces, elasticated waist, and drawcords as per your comfort and fit requirements.

Snow is getting inside the clothing.

Ensure the snow skirt and snow gaiters are properly fastened and secured. Check that the cuffs and waist are tightened sufficiently.

The zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently pull the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a full, coordinated outfit for skiing or snowboarding.
  • Offers good insulation and warmth due to Microfibre filling.
  • Water-repellent finish helps keep you dry in snowy conditions.
  • Adjustable features allow for a personalized and secure fit.
  • Designed with snow protection elements like gaiters and a snowskirt.

Cons

  • Made entirely of 100% polyester, which may limit breathability during intense activity.
  • DWR finish may require reapplication over time to maintain effectiveness.
  • Specific thermal rating or waterproof hydrostatic head not detailed, impacting performance in extreme conditions.
  • Style may be more functional than fashion-forward for some users.
  • Relies on synthetic insulation, which can perform differently than down in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear clothing set. Ensure the jacket and trousers are the correct size for a comfortable fit. Adjust the cuffs, braces, hood, and waist as needed before use.

Compatibility: This set is designed for general winter sports and outdoor activities. It is compatible with standard base layers and mid-layers for added warmth depending on the conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the DWR finish and fabric properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
  • Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, consider using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash after several uses or if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for application.
