Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Avalanche RECCO High Waist Ski Trousers are designed for adult female skiers who prioritize both sleek aesthetics and technical performance on the slopes. These softshell trousers feature a high-rise waist for an improved fit, advanced thermal insulation for warmth, and water-resistant materials to withstand snowy environments; however, users should note that the slim-fit design may feel restrictive for those who prefer roomier layers underneath.

FAQs

What is RECCO technology?

RECCO is an integrated electronic reflector that makes you searchable to professional rescuers equipped with RECCO detectors in the event of an avalanche.

Can I wear leggings underneath these trousers?

Yes, but due to the slim fit, it is recommended to wear thin, moisture-wicking synthetic base layers rather than bulky fleece.

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a water-resistant DWR finish designed to shed snow and light rain, but they are not fully seam-sealed waterproof rain gear.

How should I clean the scuff guards?

Wipe the scuff guards down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and ice; if heavily soiled, follow the manufacturer's care instructions for machine washing.

Are these trousers suitable for very cold days?

Yes, they are designed with Isotherm heat retention technology, though you should adjust your base layer thickness based on the specific temperature.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a DWR reactivation spray or wash-in treatment.

Trouser gaiters do not fit over my boots

Ensure the gaiter is pulled up before putting your boots on, then pull the elasticated hem down over the boot once the boot is buckled.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-waisted fit is comfortable and secure during movement
  • Effective heat retention with Isotherm technology
  • DWR finish provides reliable water resistance
  • Built-in RECCO technology for increased safety
  • Includes essential features like snow gaiters and scuff guards

Cons

  • Slim fit may not accommodate thick base layers
  • Softshell material may need re-treatment over time to maintain water repellency
  • Limited to specific sizing and color options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, secure the trousers using the stud and zip fly closure for a snug fit. The belt loops allow for extra adjustment if needed. When pairing with gear, ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled down over your ski boot shells before securing the boot buckles; this creates a physical seal against snow ingress. For maintenance, wash the trousers on a gentle cycle using a mild, technical cleaner. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating. Periodically check the garment for signs of wear on the scuff guards; if water begins to soak into the fabric rather than beading on the surface, consider reapplying a technical DWR spray to restore the water-resistant properties.
