FAQs
What makes this ski suit suitable for cold weather?
It combines a waterproof outer shell, a warm fleece lining, and Sorona® synthetic down insulation to provide excellent thermal protection in cold conditions.
How does the stretch fabric benefit the wearer?
The stretch softshell fabric allows for a greater range of motion, ensuring comfort and flexibility during skiing or other winter activities.
Can I wear this suit for activities other than skiing?
Yes, it can be worn for other winter outdoor activities like snowboarding or even as a very warm outerwear piece for general cold-weather use, though its design is optimized for skiing.
How should I clean the suit to maintain its performance?
It should be machine washed cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent for technical fabrics. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Always close zippers before washing.
What is Sorona® synthetic down?
Sorona® is a partially plant-based synthetic insulation known for its warmth, softness, and resistance to moisture, making it an effective alternative to traditional down in performance outerwear.
Are the striped patterns functional or purely decorative?
The contrasting diamond quilted stripes are primarily a design element that adds a graphic style to the suit, enhancing its visual appeal.

Troubleshooting
Suit feels less waterproof over time.
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Follow product instructions carefully.
Reduced warmth after washing.
Ensure the synthetic down insulation is not clumped. Gently fluff the insulation by hand or by placing the suit in a tumble dryer on a *no heat* setting with a few clean tennis balls.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Fleece lining feels uncomfortable or pilled.
Ensure you are following the specific washing instructions for delicates and technical fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can damage fleece.
