Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant DWR finish that repels snow and light moisture, but they are not classified as fully waterproof like a hardshell.
What is the RECCO rescue system?
It is an electronic transponder system that helps professional rescuers locate you if you are buried in an avalanche.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Can I wear these for hiking as well as skiing?
Yes, their softshell material and thermal properties make them suitable for winter hiking, though they are optimized for ski boot compatibility.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials. While they may fit compact smartphones, they are best suited for smaller items like passes or keys.
Do I need a belt with these trousers?
They include belt loops, but the high-waisted, slim-fit design is intended to provide a secure fit on its own.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may need reactivation. Clean the garment and use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Snow getting inside the boot
Ensure the internal snow gaiters are fully pulled down and seated correctly around the shell of the ski boot.
Difficulty zipping or fastening
Check for debris or ice buildup in the zipper teeth or stud housing; clean with a soft brush if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, pair these trousers with moisture-wicking base layer leggings. The trousers feature belt loops if you prefer extra customization of the waist fit. When caring for your garment, wash with technical gear detergent to avoid stripping the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the polyester softshell fabric. Ensure the snow gaiters are correctly positioned over your ski boots before securing your boots to the bindings to ensure a complete seal.
