FAQs

What is the RECCO system?

RECCO is a two-part rescue system. These trousers contain a passive reflector that bounces back a signal from a detector used by professional mountain rescue teams.

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes them highly water-resistant, suitable for most skiing conditions.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the standard UK women's sizing chart provided by Mountain Warehouse, keeping in mind the slim-fit design.

Can I put these in the dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry to protect the garment's synthetic properties and water-resistant coating.

Are the pockets large enough for a phone?

The zipped side pockets are designed for small essentials like keys, lip balm, or a lift pass. Larger phones may fit, but check dimensions first.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and re-apply a professional DWR water-repellent spray.

Snow entering through the bottom of the pant leg.

Ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled securely over the shell of your ski boot before closing the outer pant leg.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-waisted fit provides extra warmth and comfort
  • RECCO rescue technology enhances safety
  • DWR finish offers reliable water protection
  • Durable construction with scuff guards

Cons

  • Slim-fit cut might limit heavy base-layering
  • Limited to specific size ranges
  • Requires proper care to maintain water-repellency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Avalanche Ski Trousers remain effective, proper maintenance is essential:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized technical garment detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  3. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water resistance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are completely clean before long-term storage to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
