Full details

These softshell trousers excel at providing essential heat retention and water resistance in alpine conditions, though users should note that the slim-fit design may feel restrictive if layered with excessively bulky base layers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which makes them water-resistant, making them ideal for skiing in snow and light rain.

What is RECCO technology?

RECCO is an integrated transponder technology used by professional rescue teams to quickly locate individuals in the event of an avalanche.

Do these trousers come with a belt?

The trousers include belt loops, but a belt is not typically included with the purchase.

How should I wash them?

Wash on a gentle, cool cycle using a non-bio detergent or dedicated technical fabric cleaner. Do not use fabric softener.

Are they suitable for extremely cold weather?

Yes, they feature Isotherm thermal properties for heat retention, though you may still need thermal base layers depending on your personal tolerance and the temperature.

How does the sizing run?

These trousers have a slim-fit design. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a specialized DWR re-proofer spray.

Feeling too tight when bending

Ensure your base layers are thin and moisture-wicking; heavy or baggy clothing will create bulk under the slim-fit design.

Snow entering boots

Check that the internal snow gaiters are pulled securely over your ski boots before securing your pant legs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated RECCO safety technology
  • High-waisted design for a secure, gap-free fit
  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold days
  • Durable, water-resistant softshell material
  • Slim, flattering silhouette

Cons

  • Slim fit may feel snug for some users
  • Requires proper care to maintain DWR finish
  • Limited to snow-specific activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ski trousers, always pair them with appropriate technical base layers rather than cotton, which absorbs moisture. The trousers feature belt loops for a customizable fit. When cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for synthetic, water-resistant fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. For best results, air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a DWR spray treatment to restore its water-repellent performance.
