What should you consider when choosing the perfect ski trousers?
When you buy new ski trousers, there are a number of things to look out for. For example, it is important that you choose a sturdy, warm material. A lined pair of trousers is usually the warmest option, because the lining provides extra insulation.

The ski trousers must also have a high level of breathability. Skiing is an intensive sport, so you will perspire a lot. It is therefore important that your ski trousers regulate moisture well. If this does not happen, the perspiration cools you down, which in turn reduces body temperature.

In addition, a good fit is also an absolute must. It is important that your ski trousers fit well, but at the same time you should not restrict your freedom of movement. When trying on your ski trousers, we recommend that you bend your knees well and turn your upper body back and forth. Do the trousers still feel comfortable? Then the fit is suitable for you!

Snow catchers

As with ski jackets, ski trousers are often equipped with special snow catchers. The snow catchers in your ski trousers ensure that no snow gets in in case you fall while skiing or snowboarding, keeping you nice and warm. Snow catchers are usually provided with an elastic band that keeps the snow catcher in place.

Taped seams

To ensure that your ski trousers remain completely watertight, it is also important to pay attention when purchasing whether the trousers have sealed or taped seams. Seams and zips are vulnerable places because water can more easily pass through them. Ski trousers with sealed seams are usually completely waterproof and therefore optimally protect you against snow.

Adjustable waistband

Ski trousers with an adjustable hip / waistband make it easy to customise your ski trousers to make them more tight or loose. This ensures that your ski trousers are super comfortable at all times. A lot of the brilliant ski trousers in our collection are equipped with a waistband that you can adjust the size of using Velcro straps.

The water column of ski trousers
With ski pants it is important that it is watertight. Waterproof means that no water can penetrate the material. Ski pants with a water column from 15,000 mm are generally considered to be completely watertight. Whether or not a pair of trousers is waterproof is not only dependent on the fabric, you also need to make sure that they have sealed or taped seams, and that they have a waterproof zip or a covered zip.

Ski trousers with knee reinforcements

Snowboarders are more often on their knees in the snow. It is of course important that you do not suffer from cold knees or torn material. You can then choose to purchase special pair of snowboarding trousers, or you can choose to purchase ski trousers that are equipped with knee reinforcements. This way you are assured of optimum protection.

Ski trousers with braces

Many ski trousers are fitted with braces. Braces, suspenders, or salopettes have always been very popular because they offer that little bit of extra protection and warmth, and they also ensure that your ski trousers stay in place. Do you want to use braces sometimes, but not all the time? Then choose a pair of ski trousers with removable braces.

Women's ski trousers

Kid's ski trousers

For ski trousers for children, it is important that they are very waterproof. This is because children come into contact with the snow more than adults while skiing. Breathability is less important in children's ski trousers, because children generally sweat less than adults. At Outdoorsupply, you will find various beautiful ski trousers for boys and girls from top brands in a different range of styles, colours, and designs.
