FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-resistant and feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, making them suitable for snow conditions, though they are not fully seam-sealed like high-end waterproof shells.
What is the RECCO system?
RECCO is a search and rescue technology that uses a passive reflector inside the garment to help professional rescuers locate individuals in the event of an avalanche.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Do these have belt loops?
Yes, they include integrated belt loops to help you achieve a customized, secure fit.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The side pockets feature zip closures to keep items secure, but they are not fully submersible.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing spray designed for softshell fabrics.
Trousers feel too tight with base layers
Consider switching to a thinner, moisture-wicking technical base layer instead of heavy fleece options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Avalanche trousers, ensure you have measured your waist and hips accurately to account for the slim-fit design. When wearing, pull the snow gaiters over your boots before tightening your ski boot buckles to ensure a proper seal.
For maintenance, use a technical detergent specifically formulated for waterproof garments to avoid stripping the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fabric pores and reduce breathability. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the material and elastic components.
