FAQs
What is the RECCO reflector?
It is a passive transponder integrated into the clothing that helps professional rescue teams locate you in an avalanche using RECCO detectors.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-resistant and snowproof, designed to handle alpine conditions effectively, though they are not marketed as fully seam-sealed waterproof rain gear.
How should I clean my Avalanche trousers?
Use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent; do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and avoid tumble drying if possible.
Can I fit leggings underneath?
Yes, however, because of the slim-fit design, you may want to opt for thin, moisture-wicking thermal base layers rather than bulky fleece.
Do these trousers come with a belt?
They feature built-in belt loops, but a belt is not included with the trousers.
Is the material stretchy?
The trousers are constructed from polyester, which provides a structured fit rather than high-stretch performance, designed to keep its shape on the mountain.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray after washing to restore water repellency.
Stiff or sticky zipper
Clean the teeth of the zip with a soft brush to remove any dried mud or debris, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the snow gaiters are pulled securely over your ski boots before fastening your bindings. To maintain the integrity of the water-resistant finish, it is recommended to wash the trousers according to the label instructions, ideally using a technical fabric cleaner that does not strip the DWR coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the polyester material. Hang-dry the trousers in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the insulating fibers.
