Boys’ Skiing and Snowboarding Trousers SNB PA 500 - Dark Blue

From the top of the trousers to the middle of the thigh, we have added wadding with 54% better thermal insulation than standard wadding.The idea is simple: when snowboarding, you'll still find yourself sitting in the snow quite often. Given the time spent sitting down, we decided to increase the thermal insulation. And it's also very pleasant on the chairlifts.ONLY for dark grey trousers (model code 85566557).

For extra comfort, we have added removable foam to the knees.Like for the warmseat, the idea is to make the waiting times when you're snowboarding more comfortable, when you’re kneeling down.This layer of comfort also provides insulation from the cold.ONLY for dark grey trousers (model code 85566557).

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. The waterproof rating is measured by placing the product in a special shower that replicates the real-life conditions encountered by snowboarders during use. Finally, we have spent a few days snowboarding, in all conditions, to validate the waterproofing of the product.

As well as the waterproof fabric, we enhance the waterproofing of the trousers with taped seams. These are waterproof, adhesive strips taped to the inside seams of the garment to make it perfectly watertight. These taped seams are present on the areas most exposed to snow (buttocks, hips).

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.

A breathable coating is a coating applied to a fabric in the form of a paste or liquid which creates a protective film. The breathable coating is a waterproof barrier that lets through water vapour produced by the body when snowboarding.

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.)

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 hoodie or sweatshirt keeps you warm while the jacket protects you from bad weather. All these layers should be breathable to wick away moisture.

To optimise the performance and durability of your product, we recommend: 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 labels carefully.
