FAQs

What makes the Ared 15/15 fabric suitable for hiking?

Ared 15/15 fabric is both waterproof and breathable, with a rating of 15,000mm for waterproofness and 15,000g/m²/24hr for breathability, ensuring you stay dry from external moisture and comfortable from internal perspiration.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Dare 2b sizing chart, paying close attention to the waist measurement. The trousers also feature an adjustable waist for a more customized fit.

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

While the trousers offer good insulation against wind chill, they are primarily designed for active use. For very cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended.

Can I use these trousers for activities other than hiking?

Yes, their waterproof and breathable properties make them suitable for various outdoor activities such as trekking, climbing, camping, or even during adverse weather commuting.

What does UPF 50+ protection mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection for your legs.

How do I maintain the waterproof finish?

The trousers have an initial water-repellent finish. To maintain it, avoid fabric softeners when washing and consider using a re-proofing spray designed for outdoor gear after several washes.

Are the zips on the ventilation system truly waterproof?

Yes, the ventilation zips are designed to be waterproof, preventing water ingress while allowing you to control airflow for comfort during activity.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing seems reduced.

Ensure the garment is clean. Wash with a specialized technical wash and consider applying a water-repellent finish according to product instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax-based product designed for zippers.

Trousers feel clammy inside.

Ensure ventilation zips are open to allow airflow. Check that you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from the skin.

Fit feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the elasticated waistband using the internal drawcord or belt loops. If the fit is significantly off, consult the sizing chart for alternative sizes.
