Description
What is Cut Resistant Technology?
The term Cut Resistant indicates the cut resistance of a material, i.e. its ability to prevent a blade or sharp surface from penetrating it. In the context of alpine skiing, Cut Resistant trousers are designed to protect the athlete from accidental cuts caused by the edges of skis, particularly during a fall or collision.

Wearing Conditions:
Particular attention must be paid when wearing the 3/4 Cut Resistant trousers, so that they can provide the expected protection. The final part of the trousers is made up of a final elastic band in Lycra: it must cover and follow the calf inside the boot liner and stopped inside with the closure of the knee-high hooks, thus allowing the Cut Resistant fabric to fully protect the legs up to the coverage provided by the plastic boot cuff. In this way the Cut Resistant fabric fulfills its purpose of total protection, also keeping the fabric adherent and preventing it, during the movements of the activity, from moving up the leg leaving the calf exposed. This solution grants even greater wearability and comfort to the garment, allowing the necessary adaptation for athletes of the same size, in the various differences in shape and length of the legs. The garment worn must absolutely respect this condition of total coverage of the leg up to the boot cuff: the Lycra part does not protect from cuts and its function is to remain inside the cuff. If the size of the leg does not allow this condition, another size of trousers must be worn that corresponds to this need. When purchasing, it is always advisable to try the garment together with the boots to verify that the Lycra gaiter actually remains stuck inside the liner once the cuff is closed and to test that during bending movements on the legs, it does not rise up leaving the calf exposed.
