FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which makes them snowproof and water-resistant for typical skiing conditions.
What is the benefit of RECCO technology?
RECCO is an electronic rescue system that helps professional search and rescue teams locate individuals buried under snow.
Should I size up for layering?
The trousers have a slim fit. If you prefer wearing thick thermal leggings underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
How do I wash these trousers?
Use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.
Do these trousers have pockets?
Yes, they feature two side zip pockets suitable for storing small, flat essentials like a lift pass or lip balm.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Powder entering boots
Ensure the internal snow gaiter is pulled completely over the boot shell before securing your ski boots.
Difficulty closing zip
Check for snow or ice buildup in the teeth of the zipper and clear it gently using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started is straightforward: simply use the secure stud and zip fly closure for a reliable fit. The inclusion of belt loops allows for further adjustments if needed. To ensure the longevity of your trousers, avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish. Always hang the trousers to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can damage the synthetic fibers. If the water-repellency begins to fade after a season of heavy use, consider applying a specialized technical fabric wash and DWR re-proofer to restore their snowproof capabilities.
