How to choose kids’ ski trousers?

The primary aim of all ski trousers is to provide warmth and waterproofing, giving kids maximum comfort and protection from the outside elements.

Warmth:
Ski trousers are designed to insulate the kids’ legs from the cold. They are generally fitted with a layer of thermal insulation, which may be synthetic down or polyester. This insulation helps retain body heat and maintain a comfortable temperature, even in cold weather.

Waterproofing:
Kids’ ski trousers have a waterproof coating: coating or membrane. This waterproof construction prevents moisture from penetrating the inside of the trousers, keeping the kid’s legs dry. This is particularly important when spending long hours in the snow or making frequent movements that could lead to regular contact with the snow.

Most kids’ ski trousers are fitted with shoulder straps. The adjustable shoulder straps hold the trousers in place and prevent them from slipping when skiing. The shoulder straps also make it easy to adjust the size of the trousers, providing a perfect fit as your kid grows. What's more, ski trousers with shoulder straps offer better protection against the snow and cold by preventing draughts from getting inside. Thanks to their practical design, the shoulder straps can be easily adjusted or detached to suit your kid's preference.

A ski suit offers all-round protection against the outdoor elements. Unlike separate ski trousers and jacket, a ski suit covers your kid's entire body. This means that there's no risk of snow or cold wind getting in between the layers of clothing, which guarantees better thermal insulation. So your kid stays warm even in the coldest weather.

Even so, the ski suit can be impractical in some cases: for example, taking a pee break becomes difficult because you have to take everything off. What's more, as the top and bottom can’t be separated, you'll have to put the ski suit on again after skiing or in the evening in the resort.In short, pros and cons... it's up to you to make the best decision for your kid!

The ski suit: perfect for babies!
We highly recommend the ski suit for babies! Toddlers are more likely to be passive than active, and ski suits keep them warm on long sledging trips, for example.
