What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof trousers?

A water-repellent trouser lets drops slide off and resists light rain, but falls short in heavy downpours. A waterproof trouser (like this model) features a membrane and sealed seams that block water entirely, even in sustained heavy rain.

How do I wash and care for my waterproof trousers with a membrane?

Machine wash at 30°C with the zips closed, using a specialist detergent (such as NIKWAX or NST) and no fabric softener. Opt for a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm max) and air dry. To restore the water-repellent finish (DWR), apply a re-waterproofing spray regularly after washing.

Is this trouser warm enough to wear on its own?

This model is designed to provide good thermal insulation during your winter outings. However, in very cold conditions or for more static activities, we recommend adding a base layer underneath to ensure optimal comfort.

What are the delivery times for this product?

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design it for?

For those piste skiers under 162 cm who want high-performance ski trousers at the right length.

On the slopes, between turns and chairlift breaks, you need trousers that insulates from the cold and keeps the snow out while remaining comfortable.

These are skiers for whom the right fit is just as important as technical performance.

How should you wear it?

Worn as the main layer. In extreme cold, pair with thermal tights as a base layer. Tuck the gaiters into your ski boots. We recommend your usual size.

What makes the difference?

Its 10,000 mm softshell with pre-shaped knees in a shorter length for skiers under 162 cm - full on-piste protection without alterations.

Ski trousers, in the right length

On the slopes, trousers that are too long catch on the bindings. The fabric folds, rubs and wears out. Hemming is not a solution when you want to maintain waterproofing.

These trousers are designed for skiers under 162 cm. The Softshell fabric protects against cold, wind and moisture in a single layer. Pre-shaped knees support flexion without pulling. Warm and waterproof, they maintain comfort from the first run to the last.

Because on the slopes, the right length means the right glide. And comfort starts with trousers that sit just right.

Customers recommend the usual size

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate the short length, often described as perfect by shorter wearers, especially those under 1.60 m: several say they have finally found trousers that fit without alterations. They also praise the flexible, warm and comfortable feel, making them pleasant to wear, with some considering them for Nordic skiing or snowshoeing. However, despite the short cut, several customers still find them too long, and the fit can be either too roomy or too small depending on body shape; check the size guide and inseam carefully.

Great! The XS size is perfect. For once, I didn't need to alter the item. It seems warm and I could use it in addition to my Nordic skiing gear for snowshoeing.

Thank you for considering smaller sizes (under 1.60m) because it's difficult to find ski pants that aren't too short, even at good retailers. I took a chance ordering online, and the pants are perfect. Thank you

I ordered size XS, but size S would be ideal, although they were out of stock. Otherwise, perfect.
