FAQs
What is RECCO technology?
RECCO is a two-part rescue system. These trousers contain a passive reflector that bounces back a signal from a detector used by professional ski patrol teams to assist in search and rescue.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are designed with water-resistant fabric suitable for typical ski resort conditions, keeping you dry during normal snow exposure.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their softshell construction makes them excellent for other cold-weather activities like snowshoeing or winter hiking.
How should I clean my Avalanche trousers?
Machine wash them on a gentle setting using a detergent designed for outdoor technical gear and hang them to dry.
Do I need to wear a belt with these?
The high-waisted design is meant to sit securely, but the included belt loops allow you to add a belt if you prefer a tighter or customized fit.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the softshell polyester blend provides enough elasticity to ensure freedom of movement while maintaining a slim-fit shape.
Troubleshooting
Snow entering boots
Ensure the internal snow gaiters are fully stretched over the top of the boot shell before securing the outer hem.
Water resistance feels diminished
Wash the garment with a specialized technical wash to remove residue and re-activate the durable water-repellent coating.
Waist feels too tight
Check that your base layers are thin and moisture-wicking; heavy cotton layers will add bulk and restrict the movement of the slim-fit cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your Avalanche Trousers, ensure the snow gaiters are pulled securely over the cuff of your ski boots before fastening your outer shell. The trousers feature belt loops for additional security. For care, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric detergent to maintain water resistance. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the breathability and water-repellent coating. Always air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic materials.
