Women's skiing and snowboarding trousers 500 Camel

Can I be sure my women's snowboarding trousers will give me proper protection in bad weather?

To enable you to withstand bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc), the trousers have been developed with a component and assembly that keep the water out and reduce wind chill. We have spent a few days snowboarding and carried out tests over long periods, in all conditions, to validate the waterproofing of the product.

How do I look after my product?

To optimise your product’s performance and robustness, we advise the following: Machine wash separately at 30°C. Synthetic cycle. Turn the product inside out. Use a small amount of detergent. No softener. Wring by hand. Dry on a hanger in a warm, well-ventilated place. Do not dry clean. Do not place on a radiator. You can restore the water resistance of the outer fabric using a fabric waterproofing spray. Read the care label.

How do my trousers keep me warm?

To keep you warm, we use wadding insulation. Wadding is a synthetic component made from polyester which stores more or less air, depending on the length of the fibres. Wadding can be standard, hi-tech or silicone-coated, each with different properties (warmth, low weight, elasticity, etc.) The SNB TR 500 also come with WARM SEAT technology which improves the insulation on the seat by 54% when sitting in the snow.

How should I dress to avoid getting cold in the mountains?

In order to keep warm and dry, we recommend using the 3-layer rule. The principle is simple: wear 3 layers of clothing, which each have a specific function. Your base layer must produce and retain warmth. Your protective shorts keep you warm (and protect you from knocks), whereas the jacket protects you from the weather. All these layers should be breathable to wick away moisture.

Water often gets in through the seams. Do my trousers have waterproof seams?

As well as the waterproof fabric, we enhance the waterproofing of the trousers with taped seams. These are heat-bonded waterproof strips placed on the seams inside the clothing to make it perfectly watertight. All seams are taped on the entire skiing outfit?

What is a membrane and what's it for?

A membrane is an extremely thin component (between 5 and 25 micrometres) applied to the internal surface of a textile substrate to give it excellent waterproof and breathable capabilities. Our membrane components stop water getting inside while allowing the water vapour generated by your body to pass through, when snowboarding.

Why are my trousers water repellent?

The water-repellent feature makes water run off the fabric without seeping in thanks to a treatment applied to its outer surface. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light and warm. This treatment must be renewed during the life of the product, after 2 to 3 washes on average, using products available in our stores. All the waterproof trousers that we design for snowboarders are water-repellent.

Why is the waterproofing value online and the one in the trousers different?

We designed our trousers by choosing a membrane that ensures waterproofness of 15,000 mm when you buy them. After each wash the membrane becomes less efficient, which is why we also test the product to guarantee optimal waterproofing even after 5 washes. It’s this value after 5 washes that is printed inside the trousers so that the information remains true even in a few years when you sell your product.
