What components are used to give my trousers warmth?
To make these trousers 100% stretch, we also used stretch wadding that doesn't tear. (60 g/m²). Wadding that tears will create a "cold bridge" in that area.
What is a membrane and what's it for?
The membrane is a very thin component applied to the inner surface of the outer fabric. This hydrophilic component prevents water from seeping in while wicking away the perspiration produced by the body. The membrane is unbeatable when it comes to staying warm and dry.
How should I dress to avoid having cold legs on the slopes?
To keep your legs warm and dry, 2 layers of clothing are enough:
- 1 ski base layer to wick away perspiration.
- 1 pair of ski trousers to protect against bad weather and provide warmth
How can I prevent snow from getting into my trousers?
The trousers have elasticated gaiters at the ankles to cover the boots. If you fall or come into contact with fresh snow, the seal created by the gaiter keeps the snow out.
What is the cut of the 980 trousers?
Slim fit with an internal volume that allows these trousers to be combined with a technical base layer.

How is comfortable temperature measured?
We lab-test each of our products so that we can provide you with a indicative value on the item's comfort. This comfort indicator is measured without tights for trousers, and with a thermal t-shirt and a fleece for jackets. The measurement indicated is that of the external temperature in which the testers are neither warm, nor cold. Of course, this perceived temperature varies in line with the intensity of the activity and the metabolism of the individual.
How is waterproofing of the trousers measured?
To go beyond a simple component waterproofing value, here at Decathlon, we test all our waterproof products in the lab. How do we perform this test? We have an articulated model which we put the jacket on, and then put it under a shower for a few hours.
