Our pants are made to take the shape of the individual wearing them, and the more you wear them, the better the fit will adjust to your body. Because of this, wearing a new pair versus an older pair of pants can be experienced very differently.

Different color baths and coating applications can make the material feel different even though the composition is the same, which can also affect the fit of the pants.

In our assortment, we have many recurring products, and we make updates along the way to improve them. We may therefore have updated the fit or adjusted a measurement between two seasons.

Beyond everything mentioned above, we work within a tolerance range, to determine if a product meets a specified standard. This means that the measurement of a pair of pants at the bottom of the range, as well as a pair of pants at the top of the range, may differ in look and feel, sometimes to the extent of being noticeable.

The Rescue series is optimized to withstand extreme conditions in alpine environments. Many of the garments in the Rescue series have extra reinforcements, and all Rescue garments have an integrated RECCO® reflector. It’s used to make it easier for mountain rescuers to find you if you come across an avalanche, injure yourself in the forest, or get lost in the mountains.

The rescue personnel uses a RECCO® detector to scan search areas. When the radar signal from the detector hits a reflector, the signal bounces back and indicates where the missing person is. Pretty cool, right? Like, who doesn’t want an integrated RECCO® reflector in their garment? Thought so! Check out the Rescue series.
