Design notes

The face fabric is a ripstop: thicker yarns run through the weave at regular intervals and form a grid. If the fabric is punctured, the tear stops at the square instead of running.

On membranes this is not a given, most three-layer laminates use a plain weave. We wanted it because it holds up better to rock, crampons and hardware, because it protects the membrane while the garment spends most of a day folded in a pack, and because a small cut stays small.

Here it is a 50D polyester ripstop with a 100D reinforcement, on a three-layer construction. The pants weigh 630 g in size M, more than the Lyskamm Pants on their lighter 30D face: the zip runs the full length of the leg and there is more hardware on the garment. The fabric is not the reason.

The grid is visible on the fabric. That is a choice. The reinforcement is there to do work, and we see no reason to hide it.

Crampon guards in Challenge Sailcloth EPLX200: a 200D sailcloth with a 45° cross-ply and an RUV film, 146 g/m², C0 finish. The panel is shaped rather than a band around the hem, and covers the inside of the lower leg from mid-calf down: your own crampon points on the way up, ski edges on the way down. The maker rates it at 500 cycles on ASTM D3884 abrasion. We do not publish a waterproof rating for it: on our pages only the BARMA membrane carries waterproofness and breathability numbers.

The pocket layout stays low in profile, so it does not fight a harness or a hip belt, and the cut takes a layer underneath.

The Cogne Pants have no RECCO reflector. RECCO is on the Lyskamm line, built for freeride.

Sourcing

Designed in the Italian Alps, in Ayas, Aosta Valley.

Price
€360 / €485

Same 20/30 rating. The Lyskamm Pants use BARMA Storm on a 30D nylon ripstop, with RECCO, at 490 g. The Cogne Pants use BARMA Flow on a 50D polyester ripstop and carry no RECCO, built for mountaineering and touring. They weigh 630 g, because the zip runs the full length of the leg and there is more hardware on the garment.

Materials and care

Machine wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low to reactivate the DWR.

Wash the pants when they get dirty: dirt reduces breathability.

BARMA Flow

Membrane · BARMA platform

BARMA is our membrane selection and development platform. It is not a single membrane, nor a single number: it is the programme through which we select and develop the best membrane for the job, together with first-tier manufacturing partners, according to the qualities we want from the garment. All BARMA membranes are waterproof, breathable and made without intentionally added PFAS.

BARMA Flow: 3-layer waterproof membrane on a 50D polyester ripstop with a wider grid, softer in the hand and smaller in the pack. Built for climbing and ski mountaineering.

On the Cogne Pants: BARMA Flow, 3-layer, ePE/PU, tricot backing, wider ripstop grid. Face: 100% polyester, 50D x 50D + 100D ripstop, 129 g/m². Backing: tricot. 20,000 mm waterproofness, MVTR >29,000 g/m²/24h from in-house and mill tests, collection rating 20/30.

Questions

What is the difference between the Cogne Pants and the Lyskamm Pants?

Same 20/30 rating. The Cogne Pants use BARMA Flow on a 50D polyester ripstop, at 630 g, with no RECCO. The Lyskamm Pants use a 30D nylon ripstop and carry RECCO, for deep snow and resort use.

Are the Cogne Pants waterproof?

Yes. The Cogne Pants use the BARMA Flow 3-layer membrane: 20,000 mm waterproofness, breathability (MVTR) >29,000 g/m²/24h, from in-house and mill tests. The crampon guards carry no rating of their own: only the BARMA membrane carries waterproofness and breathability numbers.

Do the Cogne Pants have a RECCO reflector?

No. RECCO is on the Lyskamm Jacket, Pants and Bib, built for freeride.

How strong are the crampon guards on the Cogne Pants?

The Cogne Pants use Challenge Sailcloth EPLX200 crampon guards, a 200D fabric with a 45° cross-ply, to take contact with crampons and ski edges.

Do the Cogne Pants contain PFAS?

No PFAS are intentionally added at any stage we control. The face fabric of the Cogne Pants carries a C0 finish, which contains no fluorinated chemistry, and our supplier declares it free of PFA and PFC. The BARMA Flow membrane is ePE and PU.
