FAQs
Are these pants suitable for professional racing?
These are designed for recreational alpine skiing. While they offer excellent performance, racers typically prefer specialized compression-fit race suits.
How do I clean the crystals?
Hand wash or use a very gentle machine cycle inside out, ideally in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging or crystal loss.
What does 15/15 waterproofing mean?
It refers to a 15,000mm hydrostatic head rating (waterproof) and a 15,000g/m2 breathability rating, suitable for heavy snow and rain.
Do these pants have pockets?
Yes, they feature secure pockets suitable for storing small essentials like lift passes or lip balm.
Can I wear these for hiking?
While durable, they are specifically insulated and cut for skiing; you may find them too warm for high-output summer hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the surface during heavy rain or slush
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-activation; tumble dry on a low heat setting for 10-15 minutes or use a DWR spray treatment.
Snow getting into boots
Ensure the internal gaiter elastic is pulled tightly over the boot and that the hem gusset zipper is fully closed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-performance ARED 15/15 waterproofing
- Breathable material keeps you comfortable during exertion
- Elegant design with unique crystal details
- Functional gaiters provide excellent snow protection
Cons
- Crystals require delicate cleaning procedures
- Slim-fit cut may feel restrictive for those preferring baggy styles
- Light white colorway prone to visible dirt accumulation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled securely over the upper cuff of your ski boots before fastening your boots. The trousers are designed to fit over most standard-sized alpine ski boots thanks to the hem gussets. For maintenance, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle to protect the Swarovski crystals. Always avoid harsh chemicals or high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the waterproof coating and the crystal adhesive. Air drying is the preferred method to preserve the integrity of the ARED fabric and the embellishments.
