No: they’re water-repellent, shedding snow and raindrops. In prolonged rain, wear overtrousers: the vents below the knees are not waterproof.

Which activities is it designed for?

For Nordic walking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and winter hiking. For skiing on pistes, waterproof trousers such as SNOW PANT are better suited.

What are the openings below the knees for?

They release heat and let your knees bend freely. They have a mesh lining.

How many pockets does it have?

Two zipped hip pockets. There’s no back or thigh pocket; several customers have said they miss having one for their phone.

Which size should I choose?

They run slightly large: if you’re between sizes, choose the smaller one. The waistband is elasticated at the back and fastens with a button and zip.

Will it fit over ski boots?

The zip at the bottom of each leg widens the opening to fit over high-cut hiking boots. It may be a tight fit over a ski touring boot, so check it against yours.

How should I care for them?

Machine wash at 30 °C with detergent for technical clothing. Use a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm maximum) and no fabric softener. To reactivate the water repellency, use a waterproofing spray or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What are the delivery times for this product?

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Women’s Nordic walking and cross-country skiing trousers

Q: Is it warm enough for winter?

They’re warm and lightweight: the hollow fibres in our CIMATHERM® Stretch technology retain warmth while you move. When you stop or in very cold weather, add thermal leggings underneath.

Who did we design it for?

For women who go Nordic walking or cross-country skiing at a fast pace in cool weather and want lightweight, stretchy, windproof trousers.

How warm is it?

Warm and lightweight: the hollow fibres in our CIMATHERM® Stretch technology retain warmth while you move. When you stop or in very cold weather, add thermal leggings underneath.

How well does it protect against wind and rain?

It sheds snow and water droplets thanks to a water-repellent treatment and blocks sustained winds of 40 to 60 km/h. It is not waterproof: in continuous rain, wear overtrousers.

What makes it different?

Two fabrics working together: the front blocks wind, the back stretches, and mesh vents below the knees release heat.

Free to move with every stride

The poles plant, the hips rotate and you find your rhythm: whether Nordic walking or cross-country skiing, your trousers need to move with you, never hold you back.

These trousers are lightweight and highly stretchy. The front blocks wind and sheds snow and raindrops, the back stretches with every step, and the soft inner retains warmth while you move.

Vents below the knees release heat, the lower-leg zip makes them easier to pull on, and two zipped pockets keep essentials close at hand.

Because technical trousers should never get in your way.

Key features

Vents below the knees

- Mesh panels below the knees release heat and let your knees bend freely.

Half-elastic belt

- Elastic at the back holds the trousers in place without squeezing your waist.

Zipped pockets

- Two zipped hip pockets keep keys and small items secure.

Zips and reflective strips

- A zip at the bottom of each leg makes the trousers easier to put on, while reflective strips make you visible after dark.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate its comfort, pleasant fit and freedom of movement, even when worn over a base layer. Several find it flexible, warm for autumn and winter in the mountains, and technical enough for their activities. It works equally well for hiking, Nordic walking, cross-country courses or supervising competitions. The fit can nevertheless be generous for some: check the size guide carefully and, if you are between sizes, consider choosing the smaller one.

Beautiful cut and reliable sizing if you follow the recommendations. Advantage compared to other trousers when you are 1.68m tall and weigh 69kg: you don't fall between two sizes, the leg length is perfect as well as the waist measurement.

Fits perfectly, I ordered my usual size. Used it for hiking in cool weather (below 10 degrees Celsius) and it did the job. For very cold weather, add an extra layer underneath. Thanks!

I'm thrilled. We went hiking with our dog at the Baltic Sea. The trousers are ideal for that - so not just for the mountains! ;) They keep you warm despite a cold, damp storm and dry quickly.
