FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

The Mammut Courmayeur SO Pants are water-resistant due to their softshell material and DWR coating, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathable comfort in varied conditions but will not provide protection in heavy, prolonged rain.

How do I clean the pants?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

What is FLEXGUARD technology?

FLEXGUARD is Mammut's technology that allows softshell fabrics to achieve a high level of breathability and stretch while maintaining durability for demanding outdoor activities.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

While comfortable, their technical design and features are optimized for mountaineering and alpine touring. They may be more robust than necessary for casual wear.

How do I adjust the hem?

The hem features a gusset and zipper. Unzip it to create more space if needed, or zip it up to reduce bulk and create a snugger fit around your boots. Adjust to prevent interference with footwear.

What is the purpose of the ripstop inserts?

The double-weave recycled nylon ripstop inserts at the knee and lower leg are specifically placed to provide extra protection against abrasions from rocks, scree, and equipment.

What sizes are available?

These pants are available in various women's UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the most current sizing information.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper area is clean from dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Pants feel too tight in specific areas

Adjust the hem and ensure the main zipper and fly are fully closed. The pants are designed for a close fit; if discomfort persists, consider if the sizing is appropriate for your body shape.

Reduced water repellency

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the pants thoroughly and use a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for softshell or technical outerwear.
