How can I be sure of the strength and durability of my Decathlon ski trousers?

Our snowboard trousers are guaranteed for 5 years. We offer repairs locally if your trousers are damaged. Contact us on our website to find out more about how to get your product repaired.



We take particular care in choosing all the elements and assembly processes that make up our ski and snowboard trousers so they are as durable as possible.

Our actions towards more environmentally-friendly design

We know the impact our sport has on the environment and we are dedicated to reducing the impact of our products as much as possible in order to protect our playing field. These pants have been developed with the following features:



- Main material 100% recycled (excluding coating)

-90% recycled wadding

-Main fabric without fluoride

-Dope-dyed yarn lining

What is Dope Dyeing?

Dyeing textiles uses lots of water, chemical products and energy. However, we enjoy wearing colour. To reduce this impact, we use the “Dope Dyed” technique where powder colour pigments are added when the yarn is produced (and not by soaking it in dye baths as is usually the case). This reduces consumption and the discharge of waste water from colouring our fabrics.

What we're not doing so well when it comes to our environmental impact

Despite our efforts, it's not always easy to reduce our impact as much as we would like. For this product, we are striving to:



- Use a dope dyeing process for all components.

- Finding out how to waterproof a product using a lower impact solution

- Making the coating separable (or the same chemical composition) to facilitate recycling of the product.

Can I compare the environmental impact of my snowboarding outfit?

The environmental impact of the women's skiing or snowboarding trousers is calculated over their entire lifespan, using different indicators. A score from A to E is calculated to help you easily identify the more eco-friendly ski clothing by comparing products of a similar type. Decathlon actively promotes this initiative:

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

To withstand bad weather (rain, snow, wind, etc.), these women’s snowboard trousers have been designed with a waterproof component and assembly processes 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.

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 the products available in our stores. All the waterproof trousers that we design for snowboarders are water-repellent.

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?

How do my trousers keep me warm?

To keep you warm, we use faux-down 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, light weight, elasticity, etc.). The Snowboard 500 trousers also come with WARM SEAT technology which improves the insulation on the seat by 54% when sitting in the snow.

"Coated" trousers: what are the advantages of this coating?

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.

How should you wash your trousers?

To optimise the performance and durability of your trousers, we recommend:

* Machine wash at 30°, synthetic programme.

* Turn the product inside out.

* Add a small amount of detergent. No softener.

* We recommend you wring it 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 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.

How can I prevent snow from getting into my trousers?

Our trousers have elasticated gaiters which can be adjusted around the boots. If you fall or are in fresh snow, the seal keeps the snow out.
