Kids' Ski Trousers
Kids' ski pants need at least 10,000 mm, taped seams and an inner leg gaiter that fits over the ski boot. For small children, salopettes are more practical because they cover the back.
Key points
- At least 10,000 mm and taped seams.
- Small children: salopettes that cover the back.
- Size by height, hem down to the shoe.

What to look for when buying
| Question | In brief | Why |
|---|---|---|
| What waterproof rating do they need? | In brief10,000 mm or more | WhyKids sit and kneel in the snow, and their weight presses water into the fabric. 10,000 mm and taped seams keep bottoms and knees dry. |
| Waistband or salopettes? | In briefLittle ones: salopettes | WhySalopettes cover the back, so no snow gets into the waistband when kids fall. |
| Which size should I buy? | In briefBy height | WhyKids' sizes match height in centimetres: size 128 fits children around 128 cm tall. |
Frequently asked questions
How long should kids' ski pants be?
Standing, the hem reaches down to the shoe without resting on it. The inner gaiter sits over the ski boot.
What should my child wear under ski pants?
Long ski underwear in synthetic or merino. Jeans or cotton leggings soak up moisture and get cold. On very cold days, add thin fleece pants.
Can ski pants grow with my child?
A little, with adjustable braces and a roomy waistband. Still buy to fit your child's height: pants that are too long get in the way when skiing.
How do I wash kids' ski pants?
Follow the care label, usually 30 or 40 °C with a little liquid detergent and no fabric softener.

- No snow down the back

Cooler days
Try the garment on with the layer you will wear underneath. Move your arms and bend your knees: the garment should stay in place without restricting movement.
