FAQs
What does ARED 35/35 mean?
It is a performance rating indicating that the fabric can withstand 35,000mm of water pressure (waterproofness) and allows 35,000g of water vapor to escape per square meter per day (breathability).
Are these pants suitable for spring skiing?
Yes, the breathability of the ARED 35/35 membrane makes them versatile enough for warmer spring days, though they provide the most value in colder or wetter conditions.
How should I clean my Diminish II Ski Pants?
Use a specialized technical cleaner, machine wash on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees Celsius, and hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
Are these pants true to size?
They are designed with a standard athletic fit for the UK market. We recommend referring to the brand sizing chart to ensure a proper fit over your base layers.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No. Fabric softener leaves a residue that clogs the breathable pores of the technical membrane and destroys the water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR revitalizing treatment.
Feeling damp inside despite high waterproof rating
This is often caused by condensation from layering too heavily with non-breathable fabrics. Ensure your base layers are synthetic or merino wool to improve moisture wicking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, always wash these pants in cool water on a gentle cycle. Use a specialized technical garment cleaner rather than standard detergent, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these will damage the breathable pores. Air drying is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the insulation. When storing, ensure the pants are completely clean and dry to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
