Full details

These softshell trousers excel at keeping you warm and dry through advanced thermal retention and a water-resistant DWR finish, though users should note the slim-fit design may feel restrictive for those who prefer layering bulky base layers underneath.

FAQs

What is RECCO technology?

RECCO is a two-part rescue system. These trousers contain a passive reflector that bounces back signals from professional rescue team detectors to help locate you in an avalanche.

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes them water-resistant. They are excellent for snowy conditions but are not classified as fully waterproof, seam-sealed shells.

Can I machine wash these?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a non-bio detergent or a specialized technical cleaner. Do not use fabric softener.

Do I need a belt with these?

The trousers feature belt loops if you prefer extra security, but the high-waist design is engineered to stay up on its own during activity.

How should I store them after the season?

Clean them thoroughly, ensure they are completely dry, and store them in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent mold or fabric degradation.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers with a DWR-rejuvenating product and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent properties.

Gaiters feel tight around the ski boots.

Ensure the gaiter is correctly positioned over the boot cuff and not caught on any buckles. If it remains tight, check that the boot is not too wide for the gaiter opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated RECCO rescue reflector for enhanced mountain safety
  • High-waist cut provides a comfortable and secure fit
  • DWR finish offers reliable water resistance for snowy environments
  • Reinforced scuff guards ensure long-term durability
  • Includes functional zip-secured pockets for storage

Cons

  • Slim-fit design might limit room for thick base layers
  • Limited to snow-focused activities due to specific features like gaiters
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain DWR effectiveness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trousers last, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit: The trousers feature a stud and zip fly closure. Ensure they are comfortably snug at the waist without impeding your ability to bend at the hips.
  2. Compatibility: The integrated gaiters are compatible with most standard ski boots. Ensure the gaiter is pulled over the outside of your boot shell before snapping your ski boots into your bindings.
  3. Care Instructions: To maintain the DWR water-resistant finish, wash with a technical fabric cleaner specifically designed for outdoor gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating and reduce breathability. Air dry away from direct heat sources to protect the polyester fabric integrity.
