FAQs

What is the purpose of the RECCO reflector?

RECCO is a search technology used by rescue teams to locate individuals buried in an avalanche or lost in the outdoors via radar.

Can I machine wash these ski trousers?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a DWR finish, which makes them water-repellent. They are highly suitable for snow sports but should not be considered fully waterproof in extreme, prolonged downpours.

What does 'Isotherm' technology do?

Isotherm is a lightweight, thermal insulation technology that helps retain body heat, keeping you warm without adding unnecessary bulk.

Do I need to wear a belt with these?

The trousers include belt loops if you prefer to use one, but the high-waist design and secure stud fastening are intended to provide a snug, secure fit on their own.

Troubleshooting

Snow getting into the boots

Ensure the internal snow gaiters are fully stretched over the shell of your ski boots and not tucked inside.

Fabric no longer beading water

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers and apply a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment.

Waist feels too tight

Try adjusting your base layer thickness or using a thinner technical legging underneath to accommodate the slim-fit cut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-waist design ensures maximum coverage and a secure fit.
  • Integrated RECCO reflector provides an important safety layer.
  • Softshell fabric allows for better range of motion compared to hard shells.
  • Built-in snow gaiters eliminate the need for extra accessories.
  • Thermal lining effectively regulates temperature in freezing conditions.

Cons

  • Slim fit may not accommodate thick base layers comfortably.
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain DWR properties.
  • Limited storage capacity with only two pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Avalanche trousers, always fasten the stud and zip fly before washing. These trousers are compatible with most standard ski and snowboard boots. To maintain the DWR finish, wash with a technical detergent designed for outdoor gear and avoid standard fabric softeners, which can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. If the trousers stop repelling water, tumble dry on a low setting or iron on a cool setting (per garment tag) to reactivate the water-repellent coating. Always ensure the snow gaiters are pulled securely over your boots before heading out to the lift.
