FAQs
What is RECCO technology?
RECCO is a two-part rescue system consisting of a reflector integrated into the garment that allows professional search teams to pinpoint your location using a radar signal.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature water-resistant fabric designed to keep you dry in snow, though they are not categorized as fully waterproof like hardshell rain gear.
How do I determine my size?
These trousers follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the size chart and consider the slim-fit design when choosing your size.
Can I use these for other winter sports?
Yes, their softshell construction and weather resistance make them excellent for snowboarding, sledding, or winter hiking.
Do I need a belt?
They feature built-in belt loops if you prefer an extra secure fit, but the high-waist design is engineered to sit comfortably without one.
Troubleshooting
Snow entering boots
Ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled down over the top of your ski boot cuffs before closing your boots.
Water soaking into fabric
If the water-resistant coating begins to fail, wash the trousers and apply a specialized technical fabric re-waterproofing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, use the belt loops to adjust the waist as needed, though the high-rise cut is designed to sit securely on its own. These trousers are fully compatible with most standard alpine ski boots. For care, wash the trousers in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the water-resistant coating and the integrity of the RECCO reflector. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or heavy detergents. Always hang dry to maintain the shape of the garment and ensure the fabric continues to perform optimally over multiple seasons.
