FAQs

Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?

The Courmayeur SO Pants are softshell pants designed for active use. While they offer wind protection and breathability, they are not heavily insulated and are best suited for moderate to cool conditions or as an outer layer in colder weather when combined with appropriate base layers.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The UK size is provided, but comparing your waist and hip measurements to the chart is recommended for the best fit.

Can I wear these for casual hiking?

Yes, while designed for technical alpine use, their comfort, durability, and stretch make them suitable for general hiking and trekking in appropriate weather conditions.

How do I care for the ripstop inserts?

The ripstop inserts are made of durable nylon and require the same care as the rest of the pants. Follow the general care instructions provided to maintain their integrity and protective qualities.

Are the pants waterproof?

These are softshell pants, meaning they are highly breathable and water-repellent, not fully waterproof. They will resist light rain and snow but are not designed to withstand prolonged heavy downpours.

What does 'SO' stand for in the product name?

'SO' typically stands for 'Soft Shell' in Mammut's product naming convention, indicating the material type and its properties.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency over time

Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment (e.g., DWR spray) after cleaning, following product instructions.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Air dry and iron on a low setting if needed, as per care instructions.

Zipper sticking

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
