Full details
The Fusalp Diana Fuseau ski pants are designed for adult women seeking a sleek, modern fit that visually lengthens the legs while providing essential protection on the slopes. Made from windproof, elasticated Schoeller®-softshell fleece, these pants offer excellent freedom of movement and warmth. A key caveat for some users might be the close-fitting nature, which is integral to their design for leg lengthening but may not suit those preferring a looser fit.

FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
Yes, the insulating bonded fleece lining provides warmth. For very extreme conditions, consider layering with thermal base layers.
Can I wear these pants for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their windproof and water-repellent features make them suitable for other winter outdoor activities like snowboarding or hiking. Their sleek fit may also lend them to casual winter wear, though their technical features are primary.
How do I ensure the best fit for the leg-lengthening effect?
The pants are designed with a close, tapered fit. For the intended visual effect, choose your usual size, ensuring they fit snugly through the leg without being uncomfortable. The stretch fabric allows for movement.
What does 'Fuseau' mean in the product name?
'Fuseau' refers to the distinctive, tapered silhouette of the pants, designed to follow the line of the leg and create an elongated look.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
Reapply DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric. This frequency depends on usage and washing habits, typically every few washes or when performance decreases.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zippered for security, and the softshell material offers water repellency. However, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. For items needing absolute protection from water, use a waterproof inner bag.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Snow gaiters are not staying in place.
Ensure the grippy elastic band on the gaiter is clean and dry. Make sure the gaiters are correctly positioned over your ski boots.
Reduced water repellency after washing.
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Pants feel restrictive.
Confirm you are wearing the correct size. The close fit is intentional, but if it feels too tight, consider if a larger size might be more comfortable while still offering a sleek profile.
