FAQs
What is the main purpose of the RECCO® reflectors?
RECCO® reflectors are passive safety devices that help rescuers locate you in the event of an avalanche. They do not require power and are designed to reflect signals from RECCO® detectors.
How do I clean the ski pants?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does a waterproof rating of 10,000mm mean?
A 10,000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water pressure in a vertical test, making it suitable for heavy rain and snow conditions.
Can I wear these pants in very cold weather?
Yes, these pants are designed with thermal properties tested up to -30°C, making them suitable for very cold conditions. Wearing appropriate base layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
How do the snow gaiters work?
Integrated snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs inside the leg bottoms that fit snugly over your ski boots. They create a seal to prevent snow from entering the pants.
What is the breathability rating?
The pants have a breathability rating of 5,000g, meaning that 5,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, helping to keep you comfortable.
Do I need to do anything to activate the RECCO® reflectors?
No, RECCO® reflectors are passive and do not require activation. They are permanently attached to the garment and work automatically when scanned by a RECCO® detector.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel cold despite thermal rating
Ensure base layers are appropriate for the temperature. Thermal properties are enhanced with suitable undergarments. Check that ventilation zips are closed if too much cold is felt.
Water seeping through seams
Verify that seams are fully taped and intact. If leakage persists, consider re-applying seam sealant or using a reproofing treatment specifically for taped seams.
Snow enters the pants around the boots
Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are properly fitted over the ski boots and tightened. Check that the gaiters are not damaged.
Pants feel too warm during activity
Open the mesh ventilation zips located on the legs to increase airflow and regulate body temperature. Consider wearing lighter base layers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproofing and breathability for comfort in varied conditions.
- High thermal rating suitable for very cold environments.
- Practical features like snow gaiters and scuff guards enhance performance.
- Integrated RECCO® reflectors add a significant safety feature.

Cons
- Material is primarily Polyester and Nylon, which may be less breathable than some high-tech fabrics.
- The thermal rating tested to -30°C might be excessive for milder climates, potentially leading to overheating without ventilation.
- Specific sizing might require careful measurement and consultation of a size chart.
- RECCO® reflectors require a detector for rescue, meaning they are only effective if rescuers are equipped with compatible technology.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
