Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Avalanche Trousers last for many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you select your correct size to make the most of the slim fit design; the belt loops are included if you need to adjust the waist slightly.
- Layering: Wear thin, moisture-wicking synthetic or merino base layers to maintain the internal temperature without compromising the fit.
- Cleaning: Wash the trousers on a gentle cycle at a low temperature. Avoid using standard fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR water-resistant coating from the outer fabric.
- Drying: Air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the technical membranes and insulation.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray if you notice water no longer beads on the surface after a few seasons of heavy use.
