The critical supercurrent in proximty-wires shows a surprising temperature dependence in the experiment [1]. This observation has lead to speculation whether there are new effects involved and/or the usual criterion for the dirty limit is not valid for this type of systems. We propose a simple SNS-model for this system and show analytically, that this unexpected scaling is already contained in a conventional description of this model by quasiclassical Green's functions in the dirty limit. Based n further numerical calculations, excellent agreement with the experimental results is obtained.
