FAQs

How do I zip the legs back on?

Align the two halves of the zipper carefully and begin zipping them together from the top down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.

What is ILUS Lite fabric?

ILUS Lite is an advanced stretch fabric developed by Dare 2b. It is designed to be lightweight, breathable, flexible, and resistant to wind and wear, providing comfort and performance for active use.

Are these trousers suitable for cold weather?

These trousers are lightweight and offer wind resistance, making them suitable for cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear a warm base layer underneath.

Can the zip-off legs be stored easily?

The zip-off legs are lightweight and can be easily stored in a backpack or a large pocket when detached.

How do I clean mud or dirt off the trousers?

Most dirt can be wiped off with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, follow the machine wash instructions on the care label.

What is the intended use for these trousers?

They are designed for a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, climbing, and general trail walking, especially in conditions where temperature or terrain might change.

Troubleshooting

Zippers for zip-off legs are difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help if it persists.

Trousers feel too tight or restrictive.

Check the fit around the waist and hips. Ensure the zip-off legs are correctly aligned and zipped up. The ILUS Lite fabric has stretch, so significant restriction may indicate an incorrect size.

Fabric is less water-resistant than expected.

The ILUS Lite fabric offers some wind and wear resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider wearing a waterproof overtrouser.
