FAQs

Are these pants suitable for snowboarding?

Yes, while designed for skiing, their waterproof and windproof features make them suitable for snowboarding as well.

How do I determine if size 8 is correct?

Size 8 is a standard UK women's dress size. We recommend trying them over your intended base layers to ensure comfort while bending and squatting.

Are these pants machine washable?

Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric conditioners to preserve the waterproofing.

Do these pants have pockets?

The Diminish II pants include secure pocket storage designed for small essentials like lift passes and lip balm.

Will these pants keep me warm in extreme cold?

Yes, the pants are insulated for high-warmth, making them very effective in freezing alpine conditions.

Can I tumble dry these?

Always check the care label on your specific pair, but generally, it is best to air dry to protect the integrity of the fabric membrane.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.

Feeling damp inside during high-intensity skiing

Ensure your base layers are synthetic or wool. Cotton base layers absorb sweat and prevent the membrane from effectively breathing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing (ARED 35/35) for wet conditions
  • High-warmth insulation keeps legs comfortable in freezing temperatures
  • Windproof material blocks harsh mountain air
  • Durable fabric resists wear from heavy slope use

Cons

  • Insulation may be too warm for spring skiing or high-intensity activity
  • Polyester material lacks the stretch of specialized technical softshells
  • Specific to alpine skiing and less versatile for casual everyday winter wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your pants last multiple seasons, keep the following in mind: When preparing for your trip, ensure the base layers worn underneath are moisture-wicking to complement the breathable nature of the ARED fabric. For care, always follow the garment's internal wash labels; typically, these polyester pants should be washed in cold water with a technical detergent suitable for waterproof clothing to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical membrane. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, avoiding direct sunlight for extended periods.
