FAQs

Are these pants suitable for very cold temperatures?

Yes, the pants feature low-bulk polyester high loft insulation and a warm lining on the upper legs, providing warmth for cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider adding a warm base layer.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Dare 2b sizing chart and measure your waist, hips, and inseam. Pay attention to the UK dress size conversion provided. The elasticated waist adjusters and detachable braces allow for some fine-tuning.

Can I wear these for activities other than skiing/snowboarding?

While designed for skiing and snowboarding, their waterproofing, breathability, and stretch make them suitable for other winter outdoor activities like snowshoeing or hiking in wet conditions.

What is the breathability rating of the Ared 20/20 fabric?

The Ared 20/20 fabric offers a breathability rating of 20,000K, which is excellent for managing moisture and preventing overheating during physical activity.

How do I clean and maintain the waterproof finish?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Reapply a water-repellent finish after washing and drying to maintain performance.

What does 'articulated knee design' mean?

This means the knee area of the pants is pre-shaped or cut to allow for a greater range of motion and a more natural fit when you bend your knees, enhancing comfort and flexibility.

Are the braces removable?

Yes, the pants feature adjustable and detachable braces, allowing you to wear them with or without the braces for a customized fit and look.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric

Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a water-repellent treatment after washing and drying according to product instructions. Check that all seams are properly sealed and zippers are fully closed.

Pants feel restrictive during movement

Verify that the size is correct and that you are not wearing excessively bulky base layers. Ensure the articulated knee design is properly aligned with your leg during activity.

Snow is getting into boots

Check that the integral snow gaiters are properly secured around your ski or snowboard boots. Ensure there are no gaps or tears in the gaiter material.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zippers gently with a brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
