FAQs
What is ARED 15/15 fabric technology?
ARED 15/15 refers to Dare 2b's fabric technology that offers a high level of waterproof protection (15,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (15,000g/m²/24hr).
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
These trousers offer waterproof and windproof protection. For extremely cold conditions, layering with thermal base and mid-layers is recommended to ensure adequate insulation.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Please refer to the sizing guide provided by Dare 2b and compare it with your body measurements. The UK size 20 is specified for this particular product.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While designed for skiing, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for other winter outdoor activities like snowboarding or even hiking in wet conditions.
What does 'Egret' refer to?
Egret is the specific colour name for this variant of the trousers. It is a shade of white.
How often should I re-proof the trousers?
It is recommended to re-proof the trousers annually or whenever you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface, to maintain their water-repellent properties.
Are the crystal embellishments durable?
The crystal embellishments are decorative. While generally durable, they should be cared for according to the washing instructions to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the trousers.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to reactivate the DWR by tumble drying, or consider re-proofing the garment.
Trousers feel damp inside during activity.
This could be due to reduced breathability or excessive perspiration. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog the pores. Check that the ARED 15/15 fabric is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers.
Snow gets into ski boots.
Ensure the integrated snow gaiters are properly adjusted and secured around your ski boots. Check for any tears or damage to the gaiters that might be compromising the seal.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zips are free of debris like snow or mud. Gently clean the zip teeth with a small brush and a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with standard ski boots. The ankle zips and gussets allow for adjustments to fit various boot circumferences. The bootcut design ensures a clean look with most ski boot styles.
Care: To maintain the performance of the fabric and the durable water repellent finish, please follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Use a mild liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For best results, re-proof the trousers periodically, especially after several washes, using a waterproofing product suitable for technical outerwear.
