FAQs
Are these salopettes suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Norquay Salopettes are insulated with 60g of synthetic fill, making them suitable for typical snow sport conditions. For extreme arctic temperatures, layering may be necessary.
How do I clean the reinforced kick patches?
The reinforced kick patches are part of the outer fabric and can be cleaned following the standard care instructions for the salopettes. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
What is a PFC-free DWR finish?
PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a chemical treatment applied to the fabric that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated. 'PFC-free' means it does not use per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?
While designed for snow sports, their waterproof and insulated features could make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where waterproofing is beneficial. However, they are specifically tailored with features like boot gaiters for snow sports.
What is the warranty period for these salopettes?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this is not provided in the product details.
How do I adjust the waist?
The salopettes feature an adjustable waist with a fleece lining, allowing you to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Specific adjustment mechanisms may vary, but typically involve internal or external cinching systems.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the fabric
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. If not, clean the salopettes and re-apply a PFC-free DWR treatment. Check that all seams and zips are properly sealed.
Gaiters not staying in place
Ensure the gaiters are pulled down fully over the ski boot and that the boot hook is securely fastened. Check for any ice or snow buildup hindering the fit.
Reduced breathability
Clean the salopettes using a technical wash and avoid fabric softeners. Ensure no internal insulation or lining is compressed or blocked.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Norquay Salopettes require no setup beyond adjusting the waist for a comfortable fit and ensuring the gaiters are properly secured over your ski or snowboard boots. The zipped fly and stud-fastened closure ensure a secure fit at the waist.
Compatibility: These salopettes are designed for general snow sports, including skiing and snowboarding. They are compatible with standard ski boots and snowboards. The ankle gaiters are designed to fit over most ski and snowboard boots.
Care: To maintain the performance of your salopettes:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a technical wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener, as it can clog the pores and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a PFC-free DWR treatment to maintain water repellency, especially if water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
