RECCO is a two-part rescue system consisting of a transponder integrated into the trousers that can be detected by specialized detectors used by professional mountain rescue teams.
They feature a DWR finish, which makes them water-resistant and snowproof. They are designed for snow sports, though not classified as fully waterproof hardshells.
The trousers are designed with a slim fit. While thin thermal base layers work well, heavy, bulky fleece pants may make the fit uncomfortably tight.
The scuff guards are built-in and reinforced; simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after skiing to remove abrasive ice or debris.
Yes, these are designed to standard UK women's sizing specifications, though the slim-fit profile should be taken into account.
The DWR finish may need a refresh. Apply a technical water-repellent spray designed for softshell garments after cleaning.
Ensure the elasticated edge of the gaiter is pulled fully down over the base of your ski boot to create a proper seal.
To ensure your trousers last, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Wash the trousers in cold water using a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear to maintain the integrity of the DWR coating. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-resistant properties. Before use, ensure the integrated snow gaiters are pulled securely over your ski boots for maximum protection. The trousers include belt loops if you prefer extra customization of the waist fit. When storing, ensure the trousers are completely dry and keep them in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
