Is it warm enough for winter?

It is warm and lightweight: its CIMATHERM® lining retains heat while you’re active. In very cold weather or when you stop, add thermal tights underneath.

No. It is water-repellent, so snow and water droplets slide off. In continuous rain, wear waterproof overtrousers.

Which activities is it designed for?

For ski touring, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and winter hiking. For piste skiing, waterproof trousers such as the SNOW PANT are better suited.

How can I ventilate the trousers on the ascent?

Open the side zips on the thighs for ventilation. They have no mesh backing, so close them in snowy conditions.

Will it fit over ski boots?

The zip at the bottom of the leg widens the opening, but several customers find it a snug fit over ski touring boots. Check the fit with your own boots.

Which size should I choose?

It fits true to size: choose your usual size.

Is there a short-leg version?

Yes. The short version has legs 6 cm shorter and is designed for men under 172 cm tall.

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.

Who did we design it for?

For anyone walking, climbing or gliding through winter on ski touring skis, snowshoes or cross-country skis, who wants lightweight, warm trousers with plenty of stretch.

How warm is it?

Warm and lightweight: its CIMATHERM® lining retains heat while you’re active without weighing the trousers down. In very cold weather or when you stop, add thermal tights 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?

Our CIMATHERM® Stretch technology: fabric that stretches in every direction, with side zips on the thighs to regulate warmth on the ascent.

Trousers for every winter outing

A ski touring ascent at dawn, an afternoon snowshoe walk, a cross-country skiing outing on Sunday: winter is for moving, and your trousers need to keep up.

These trousers are lightweight, highly stretchy and warm thanks to their lining. Articulated knees move with every step, side zips ventilate the thighs as you warm up on the ascent, and the zip at the bottom of each leg adjusts the fit over your boots.

Reinforcements protect the lower legs from ski edges and crampons, while the elasticated waist adjusts with a drawcord.

Because winter is for moving.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate its comfort, light weight and quality: it feels pleasant to wear, allows good freedom of movement and has finishes that appear robust. Several use it for hiking or sport, and some also wear it in town; one customer bought another pair after years of use. The cut is considered successful, especially for a narrower lower leg, but the trousers can feel too tight around the thighs or, conversely, run large, so check the size guide carefully before choosing.

The Bornand 2H model--this one, to understand _- follows the short-term purchase of the Hoggar 3H (waterproof and breathable. While the latter has a use, as I see it, that is already inherent in the product itself - waterproof and breathable - the Bornand, which I tested yesterday in a mid-mountain environment, albeit in dry weather conditions, turned out to be excellent for use, making absolutely no regrets about models of other brands. Use at home, in the absence or with little heating is also fully satisfactory. Basically, well pleased to have purchased the second garment, I think I will buy a third in a while (thus going to replace all the pants that I have been using for quite some time now). it would be nice to find other colors in the selection as well, but black is already more than adequate in itself.

It's a beautiful, very lightweight product, best used with thermal underwear for extra warmth. Very satisfied with the quality, however, it runs large.
