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 the piste skiers who want warm, waterproof, well-cut trousers for days on the slopes in all conditions.

Between runs, chairlift queues and summit stops, you need a pair of trousers that insulates against the cold and blocks snow while staying free through every turn.

These are female skiers for whom thermal comfort and a feminine cut go hand in hand.

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 and inner gaiters - full protection on the slopes in an ergonomic women's cut.

Alpine skiing

Warm and protected, from the first to the last descent

On the slopes, the cold sets in from the chairlift. Snow seeps into your boots. The wind cuts through lightweight fabric. Ski trousers must handle everything, from the first run to the last turn.

This softshell trouser shields against cold, wind and moisture in a single layer. Its pre-shaped knees follow every flex in each turn. The inner gaiters keep snow out of your boots. Its feminine cut follows the silhouette without restricting movement.

Because skiing is more enjoyable when the cold stays outside. And protection should never compromise style.

Integrated snow gaiters

Stretchy elastic belt

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by its warmth, comfort and fit, especially for alpine skiing. Several found it warm, practical and pleasant to wear, while one customer wore it for a full week in Lapland at -35°C, with merino leggings underneath. The cut is described as impeccable, flattering and adjustable at the waist, with attractive finishing details. However, sizing is quite inconsistent: some found it too small, others too wide or too long, so check the measurements carefully and make sure there is enough room over ski boots.

I am 5 ft 3 and last year I bought the same ski pant but in XS short leg. The length is perfect with normal shoes but a bit short to my liking when wearing the ski boots. The snow gaiter is also a bit small to go over the ski boots. So this time I bought the normal length S size and the fit is great! And I imagine the length would be nice with the ski boots as well, with some loose fitting feeling. Overall, it's a nice ski pant. I am a ski beginner and I fell a lot on the snow and the pant always kept me dry :))

Absolutely delighted with these ski pants. They are so comfortable and a lovely colour (navy), and the small finishing touches make them extra special. I’m only 157 cm, so find it hard to get trousers to fit. These are just perfect! Customer service was excellent with very quick and friendly responses to my queries. The package arrived really quickly (3 days), so I couldn’t be happier thank you very much!
