Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Diminish II Ski Pants, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic insulation.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the exterior water-beading effect may diminish. Apply a technical re-proofing spray to the outer shell to maintain its waterproof performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric degradation.
