Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Avalanche RECCO High Waist Ski Trousers are designed for adult female skiers who prioritize both technical safety and a flattering slim fit on the slopes. These trousers offer excellent thermal protection and water resistance through their softshell construction and DWR coating, making them ideal for long days in varying winter conditions. One caveat to keep in mind is that the slim-fit design may feel restrictive for those who prefer heavy base layering underneath.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes the fabric water-resistant and suitable for snowy conditions, though they are not fully seam-sealed waterproof rain gear.
What is RECCO technology?
RECCO is a two-part rescue system. These trousers contain a passive reflector that bounces back signals from a searcher's detector, helping professional rescue teams locate the wearer.
Can I wear leggings underneath?
Yes, but because these are a slim-fit cut, we recommend thin, breathable thermal base layers to avoid feeling restricted.
How should I clean them?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Hanging to air dry is best for the fabric.
Do these have pockets?
Yes, they feature two zipped side pockets for secure storage of small personal items.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric during heavy use
The DWR finish may be wearing off; apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to the outer layer after cleaning.
Difficulty fitting boots under the gaiters
Ensure the trousers are pulled up high on the waist and that the gaiters are fully opened before placing your boots on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your trousers, avoid using heavy fabric softeners during wash cycles, as these can strip the DWR coating. For best performance, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang dry in a well-ventilated area. Compatibility is standard for most ski boots, though the slim-fit cuffs should be pulled securely over the boots before closing the gaiters. Ensure the stud and zip fly are fully secured before starting your descent to prevent any slippage during high-intensity activity.
