Care instructions
Skiddis shell pants require very little maintenance. To preserve their technical performance for as long as possible, we recommend following these simple guidelines:
Daily care: sponge over machine
If the pants are dirty, there’s no need to wash them in the machine every time. A quick wipe with a damp sponge is often enough. If necessary, you can also give them a light rinse under the tap.
Machine washing (when necessary)
- Use your regular detergent (neutral or eco-friendly), without any bleaching agents.
- Important: never use fabric softener, as it clogs the pores of the technical membrane.
- Wash with similar colors and do not overload your washing machine
Reactivating the water repellency
After machine washing, we strongly recommend tumble drying the pants at a low temperature. The heat helps reactivate the water-repellent (DWR) treatment.
If you do not have a dryer, using an iron (on a very low setting, without steam) will achieve the same effect.
After several washes, if water no longer beads on the fabric, you can re-apply a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment (available as a spray or a wash-in product).
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Waterproofing and breathability
It is the membrane that guarantees the pants are waterproof, not the water-repellent treatment alone.
However, keeping the garment clean and maintaining its water repellency allows the membrane to "breathe" better.
This is essential for active children: it helps release body heat, preventing them from overheating or feeling damp inside the pants.
