Step 2 Tell us about your item

These details let us confirm the right process before you arrive. Everything is checked again with you at drop-off.

Please choose the type of item you are booking in.

Please tell us the main problem or treatment required.

A preference, not a confirmed appointment — we confirm the time with you before you visit.

Please choose a preferred drop-off date.

Helpful but not required — we go through the item with you at check-in and record its condition together.

After you book, bring your item to The Gear Spa with your order number. We check it in with you, record its condition, and treatment begins once it has been assessed and accepted.

We work with reasonable care and skill, but cleaning cannot guarantee that every stain or odour will be removed, and existing wear can become more visible. We record your item's condition with you at check-in and explain any specific risks before we begin.

What’s included

A single insulated ski salopette, cleaned and dried using a controlled, fabric-specific process rather than a standard laundry cycle.

  • Standard wash and dry at £29.99.
  • Optional Added Sterilisation Treatment (+£10) at £39.99 — a professional sanitising step that targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould held deep in fill and fabric.

Choose your Wash Type at checkout. After you book, bring your item to The Gear Spa with your order number. We check it in with you, record its condition and confirm suitability before treatment begins.

Suitable for

  • Insulated ski and snowboard salopettes
  • Down and feather-filled salopettes
  • Synthetic-insulated salopettes
  • Technical shell and bib-style ski salopettes
  • Salopettes with flattened loft or lingering odour after a season on the slopes

Not suitable for

  • Salopettes with irreparable tears, delamination or broken zips that cleaning cannot resolve
  • Items heavily contaminated with substances we are unable to accept for processing
  • Salopettes that mainly need water repellency restored, which suit a Wash & Reproof service instead
  • Non-technical or fashion trousers that are not insulated ski wear

The specialist process

Your salopette is assessed and matched to a controlled wash tailored to its shell fabric, fill and construction. The process lifts ground-in dirt, sweat and body oils that weigh down insulation and reduce thermal efficiency, while guarding against clumping and fill migration so the loft stays evenly distributed.

Lightweight shell materials and seams are protected throughout, then the garment is thoroughly dried to rebuild loft and prevent damp retention — returning insulation performance and overall feel closer to like new.

Can you restore the waterproofing on my salopettes? p>This is a Professional Wash & Dry service, which cleans and refreshes insulation and fabric. If your salopettes also need their water repellency restored, choose a Wash & Reproof service instead./p>

My salopettes have down fill — is that a problem? p>No. Down and feather-filled salopettes are washed using a process designed to prevent clumping and fill migration, and are re-lofted where their condition allows./p>

Should I add the Sterilisation Treatment? p>It is worth considering if your salopettes carry persistent sweat, damp or odour. The +£10 upgrade adds a professional sanitising step that targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould./p>
