Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Avalanche RECCO High Waist Ski Trousers are designed for adult female skiers who prioritize performance, safety, and a flattering fit on the mountain. These softshell trousers excel at providing thermal heat retention and water resistance while incorporating advanced RECCO rescue technology for added peace of mind in avalanche-prone areas. While they offer excellent mobility and protection, users should note that the slim-fit design is tailored for a precise aesthetic, which may feel restrictive if you prefer roomier layers underneath.

FAQs
Does the RECCO reflector need to be turned on?
No, the RECCO reflector is a passive transponder and does not require a battery or activation; it is always ready to be detected by rescue teams.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant finish, meaning they are designed to repel snow and light moisture, but they are not fully seam-sealed waterproof trousers.
How do I choose the right size?
These are a slim-fit garment. We recommend choosing your standard trouser size, but consider sizing up if you intend to wear thick thermal leggings underneath.
Can I use these for other winter activities?
Yes, they are suitable for various winter sports such as snowshoeing or hiking, thanks to the flexible softshell material.
How should I store them during the off-season?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely clean and dry before putting them away for the season.
Troubleshooting
Snow entering the bottom of the trousers
Ensure the internal snow gaiters are pulled down firmly over the exterior of your ski boot shell.
Fabric losing its water-resistant properties
Wash the garment to remove dirt, then apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore the repellent coating.
Difficulty with the zip fastening
Check the track for trapped fabric or debris; clean the teeth with a soft brush if obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best out of your Avalanche trousers, ensure the integrated snow gaiters are pulled securely over your ski boots before fastening your boots. The trousers feature a standard stud and zip fly closure for a reliable, familiar fit. Compatibility is high with most standard ski boots due to the gaiter design. For care, it is recommended to wash the trousers on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-resistant coating. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-resistant treatment over time, you may periodically apply a technical DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing.
