Women's Downhill Ski Trousers from Japan

These women's ski trousers are designed as part of a ski ensemble, featuring waterproof nylon fabric with thermal insulation and reinforced knees for alpine skiing. They are imported as components of ski-suits under HTS 6211.20.68.30 because they match the texture and style of the accompanying ski jacket, forming a complete set identifiable for skiing. The trousers have adjustable waistbands and gaiters for boot fit, excluding retail sale as individual items.
