How to choose women's ski trousers in the sale?
Waterproofing: the number one criterion
The waterproof rating of ski trousers is measured in millimetres (mm). This indicates the height of a water column the fabric can withstand before letting moisture through. In practice:
- 10,000 mm or less: suitable for dry days on groomed slopes without repeated falls
- Between 10,000 and 20,000 mm: recommended for regular use in variable weather
- 20,000 mm and above: ideal for skiers heading out in all conditions, off-piste or in tough weather
Fit: slim, regular or bib
The fit affects both comfort and performance. Here's how to choose:
- Slim fit: close to the body, reduces friction under skis and suits those who prefer a technical, streamlined look
- Regular fit: more freedom of movement, ideal for long days and layering
- Bib trousers: come up to the shoulders and protect the lower back, highly appreciated off-piste or in very cold weather. Also prevents snow from getting in at the waist
Insulation: with or without membrane?
Depending on your activity and cold tolerance, the type of trousers you need will vary:
- Softshell trousers: flexible, breathable, and stretchy. Offer light waterproofing. Perfect for active skiing or milder days
- Insulated trousers: feature an insulating layer (Primaloft®, synthetic down) between the fabrics. Warm and comfortable, ideal for those who feel the cold
- Hardshell trousers: waterproof shell with no insulation. Designed to be worn as part of a 3-layer system. The choice for skiers who regulate temperature by layering

Women's ski trousers sale: our tips before you buy
Choosing the right size
The size of women's ski trousers is not the same as jeans. A few practical tips:
- Try on (or order) with your ski socks and usual base layer
- Check that the trousers fully cover your ski boots and don't ride up when you bend your knees
- Always refer to each brand's size guide: fits vary between manufacturers
- If you're between sizes, choose the larger one for more freedom of movement
Details that make a difference
Beyond the fabric, certain technical details really matter on the slopes:
- Integrated gaiters: an elastic cuff inside the leg that wraps around your ski boot to keep snow out
- Ski boot compatibility: make sure the bottom of the trousers fits easily over your boots, especially with slim fits
- Vents: zipped vents on the thighs help release heat on lifts or when hiking
- Reinforcements: found on some models at the knees or inner leg, they extend the life of your trousers on hard snow
