FAQs
Are these pants suitable for backcountry skiing?
Yes, they are designed with freeride and backcountry features like the Recco system and beacon-compatible pockets.
Do I need to wear long underwear underneath?
As these are shells, it is recommended to wear a moisture-wicking base layer for optimal thermal comfort.
How do I use the Recco system?
The Recco reflector is built into the pants and requires no power or activation; it is always ready to be detected by professional rescue scanners.
Can these be washed in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild, technical liquid soap and ensure all zippers are closed.
Do the gaiters fit all ski boots?
Yes, the integrated snow gaiters are designed with elasticated grips to fit securely over most standard ski and touring boots.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the garment with a technical cleaner and tumble dry, or reapply a DWR spray treatment.
Ventilation zips are sticking
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and gently clear away any debris or ice buildup before operating the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Close all zippers and Velcro tabs before washing.
- Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle.
- Use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard detergent to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the waterproof finish.
- Reapply a spray-on DWR treatment periodically if water stops beading on the surface.
