Q: Can I dryclean my ski
suit ?

A: Gone are the days when ski-
wear was big and bulky. Now, skiwear
is lightweight and stylish. [t keeps the
warmth in, the snow out, and the wear-
er in fashion. Unlike the “waterproof”
coated fabrics used in the past, these
new fabrics keep water droplets out,
while allowing the perspiration to
escape. Since they don't trap moisture,
these fabrics keep skiers warm and dry
instead of cold and clammy. These new
fabrics can conform to almost any style,
including those utilizing neon colors,
today’s most popular sight on the
slopes. Of course, the elements take
their toll on skiwear, and it needs prop-
er care to maintain its desirable quali-
ties. Skiwear labels may recommend
laundering or drycleaning, depending
on the type of fabric and insulation. For
the best results, follow the instructions
on the care label and return your gar
ment to the retailer if a problem occurs,
or corpult your drycleaner.
