Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the DWR coating is still effective. If not, reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying according to care instructions. Check that all zips and seams are fully closed.
Salopettes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the integrated waist belt. If the fit is still not right, consult the sizing chart for alternative sizes, as fit can vary.
Snow entering at the ankles.
Ensure the ankle gaiters are pulled down correctly over your ski boots and that the boot hook is securely fastened. Check for any damage to the gaiter material.
Reduced breathability or feeling damp inside.
Ensure inner layers are moisture-wicking and not trapping humidity. Clean the outer fabric as per care instructions, as dirt can impede breathability. Ensure the zips are open when not needed for ventilation.
