Which activities is it designed for?

Most winter activities: alpine skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, winter hiking and mountaineering. These versatile trousers can go from one outing to the next without needing to be changed.

Is it warm enough in very cold weather?

It is warm enough for most winter activities and blocks the wind. In very cold weather or when you stop moving, wear thermal leggings underneath.

How can I ventilate the trousers on the ascent?

Open the two side zips: an inner mesh keeps snow out while letting air through. Close them for the descent or when the wind picks up.

Does it protect against rain?

It is waterproof to 10'000 mm Schmerber, but the seams are not sealed: in rain lasting more than 30 minutes, water may seep in. These trousers are designed for snow and short showers.

How many pockets does it have?

Two zipped front pockets. A large phone only just fits.

Which size should I choose?

It runs slightly small, especially at the waist. If you are between sizes, choose the larger one.

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.

One pair of trousers, all winter long

On the slopes on Tuesday, snowshoeing on Saturday, climbing before a descent through fresh snow on Sunday: there’s more than one way to enjoy winter, and you don’t want to change trousers for every outing.

The stretchy softshell fabric moves with you, blocks wind and snow, and the large side zips ventilate your legs as you warm up. Braces keep the trousers in place, while the inner gaiter stops snow from getting in.

Reinforcements protect the knees and lower legs from ski edges, while zipped pockets keep essentials close at hand.

Because winter is about more than one activity.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers appreciate this functional, comfortable, high-quality pair of trousers, with materials and zips they describe as impeccable. They particularly praise its effective protection against cold and wind, along with the large side openings, which are especially useful for releasing heat during ski touring. The reinforcements are well placed, and several customers also use it for hiking, snowshoeing or in Lapland. Do bear in mind that the fit can be either too tight or too loose depending on body shape, the braces sometimes lack adjustment, and the pockets are considered too shallow.

Size fits very well. I'm a 179cm man. I was expecting a tad warmer pants, they do feel a bit cool in -4C, but still comfortable in that temperature. I will put these into real test in -20C in Finnish Lappland and we shall see.

I wore these pants for a week in the snowy mountains with temperatures around -5/-10°C and I wasn't cold for a single moment... They offer top-notch comfort and protection. I'm 1.65m tall and weigh 64.5kg, and size S fits me perfectly.

I weigh 73 kg and am 1.75 m tall. These are great pants, well-cut and close-fitting. The fabric is supple and soft to the touch, and the comfortable lining should provide excellent warmth in very cold weather. The leg length is perfect for me. Based on online reviews, improvements have been made to the gaiters, which now fit perfectly over my hiking boots, and the side ventilation openings now have mesh protection to prevent snow from getting in, which wasn't the case in previous versions. For me, the suspenders are a plus compared to a belt because the pants come up high in the back. However, the Velcro closures on the suspenders could be placed higher for those with a smaller torso than usual, which is my case. But this is a minor drawback considering the quality of the product. I'm going to use them for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and hiking. I recommend this product.

Very comfortable pants that fit perfectly. Ideal for skiing and snowshoeing, and I've already tested them! The pants seem very robust and well-made. At 188 cm tall and 85 kg, size XL is the right choice.

Very comfortable trousers for walking, light and flexible. I use them regularly for brisk walking, in temperatures between 0° and 3°C. They feel cool at first, then the body warms up comfortably afterwards. The suspenders are practical for good support. Order your normal size (size 42 for 1.75m and 78kg).
