FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?

They are ideal for three-season use. For deep winter or sub-zero temperatures, we recommend wearing thermal base layer leggings underneath for extra warmth.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry these trousers. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic fibers and the water-repellent finish.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The secure zipped pockets are designed for essentials and generally fit most standard-sized smartphones comfortably.

How do I measure the size correctly?

Use a measuring tape to find your natural waist and inside leg measurements, then compare them against the standard UK size chart for Dare 2b.

Is the material noisy when walking?

No, the nylon blend used in the Melodic II is soft and quiet, unlike traditional stiff waterproof trousers.

What is the best way to clean off mud?

Allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off with a soft-bristled brush. For stubborn stains, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a standard DWR reproofing spray to restore the finish.

Hem toggle slipping

Ensure the toggle lock is fully depressed and snapped into place. If it remains loose, check for debris inside the toggle housing that may be preventing it from gripping the cord.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable, abrasion-resistant material

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold weather without base layers

  • Limited to specific colour availability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Melodic II Trousers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These trousers are cut for a standard adult fit. Use the internal adjustable waist toggles to cinch the fit if you are between sizes.
  2. Compatibility: The adjustable toggle hems allow you to tighten the trousers around hiking boots, keeping debris out, or pull them up for better ventilation in warmer weather.
  3. Care: Machine wash on a cool setting using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. Hang-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. If the water-beading effect fades over time, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically formulated for technical outdoor apparel.
