Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult female skiers who prioritize both style and mountain safety, the Mountain Warehouse Avalanche RECCO High Waist Ski Trousers offer a blend of technical performance and a flattering slim-fit silhouette. These trousers utilize a durable softshell construction with a DWR finish to keep you protected from moisture while maintaining warmth on the slopes. While the high-rise design and integrated RECCO technology provide excellent utility, users should note that the slim fit may feel restrictive for those who prefer roomier layers underneath.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes them water-resistant against snow and light moisture, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain.

What is RECCO technology?

RECCO is a two-part rescue system. These trousers contain a passive reflector that requires no power or activation, helping professional rescue teams locate you in avalanche conditions.

How should I clean my ski trousers?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical cleaner. Never use fabric softener or bleach, and air dry.

Can I wear thermal layers underneath?

Yes, it is recommended to wear thin, moisture-wicking thermal leggings. Keep in mind the slim fit may make very thick layers uncomfortable.

Do these trousers come with a belt?

They include belt loops, allowing you to add your own belt if you require a more customized fit at the waist.

Troubleshooting

Snow is getting inside the bottom of the trousers

Ensure the internal gaiters are properly positioned over the top of your ski boot and pulled tight.

Water is soaking into the fabric

The DWR coating may be wearing off; wash the garment and apply a fresh spray-on DWR treatment to restore water repellency.

Zip fly is difficult to operate

Check for trapped fabric or ice buildup in the teeth. Gently clean with a soft brush and dry thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated RECCO rescue technology for improved safety
  • Flattering high-waist slim fit
  • DWR finish provides reliable water resistance
  • Built-in scuff guards increase garment longevity
  • Secure stud and zip fly closure

Cons

  • Slim fit may limit layering options
  • Softshell material is water-resistant but not fully waterproof in extreme downpours
  • Specific sizing requires checking the UK guide closely for the best fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your ski trousers, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  • Layering: Due to the slim-fit design, wear moisture-wicking thermal leggings underneath to maintain warmth without adding excessive bulk.
  • Boot Integration: Ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled down over your ski boot shells before securing the outer cuff to prevent snow entry.
  • Washing: Use a technical fabric cleaner or mild soap. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the technical membranes.
  • Maintenance: Check the stud and zip fly periodically to ensure they remain free of packed ice or snow, which can prevent them from closing properly.
