No, you should not dry ski pants in a machine dryer. The heat from the dryer can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes used in ski pants, compromising their functionality.
Here are some recommended ways to dry ski pants:
- Air dry: Hang the pants on a clothes hanger or lay them flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Dryer on low heat (with caution): Some manufacturers allow for low-heat drying, but always check the care label for specific instructions. It is best to err on the side of caution and air dry.
Remember:
- The drying time can vary significantly depending on the fabric and thickness of the pants.
- Turning the pants inside out can help them dry faster.
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat as they can damage the fabric and waterproofing.
