FAQs

Are these pants suitable for snowboarding?

While designed specifically for skiing, their durable construction and weatherproofing make them suitable for snowboarding as well.

What is the ARED 35/35 rating?

ARED 35/35 refers to the technical specification of the fabric, offering 35,000mm waterproofing and 35,000g/m2/24 hours breathability for high-performance protection.

Can I use fabric softener on these?

No, do not use fabric softener as it clogs the pores of the waterproof membrane and ruins the breathability.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

The pants should feel comfortable when in a skiing crouch position, with enough room to layer underneath without restricting your movement.

Are these pants windproof?

Yes, they feature a windproof construction to protect you from cold mountain gusts.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric surface

The DWR coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer to restore water repellency.

Feeling damp inside during high exertion

Ensure you are using a moisture-wicking base layer rather than cotton, as cotton traps sweat and prevents the membrane from breathing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance ARED 35/35 waterproof rating
  • Excellent windproofing for harsh mountain weather
  • Durable polyester construction for longevity
  • Provides reliable warmth for all-day alpine wear

Cons

  • Insulation may be too warm for spring skiing conditions
  • Polyester material requires specific care instructions
  • Designed primarily for skiing, less versatile for other outdoor sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ski pants, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear.
  2. Detergents: Never use fabric softeners or biological washing powders, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use a cool setting to avoid damaging the technical membranes.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation.
  5. Compatibility: These pants are designed to fit well over thermal base layers. Ensure your ski boots are compatible with the integrated gaiters for the best seal against snow ingress.
