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.

BARMA Flow
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.
Drawn in Ayas, Aosta Valley. Produced where the work is done best, and we say where.
