FAQs

Are these pants suitable for snowboarding?

Yes, while designed with skiing in mind, the technical specifications and durability of the Diminish II pants make them highly suitable for snowboarding as well.

What does ARED 35/35 mean?

ARED 35/35 refers to a high-performance standard that provides 35,000mm waterproofing and 35,000g/m²/24h breathability, offering elite-level protection.

Can I put these in the dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry these pants to prevent heat damage to the technical membranes and insulation.

Are they true to size?

The pants follow standard UK women's dress sizing; however, since they are performance apparel, you may want to ensure you have enough room for base layers.

How do I maintain the waterproof rating?

Keep the pants clean, as dirt and oil can clog the breathable pores. Periodically apply a fresh DWR treatment to the exterior.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR reactivation spray or wash-in treatment.

Feeling cold during lift rides

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath. The pants are insulating, but base layers are required to manage sweat and heat retention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior ARED 35/35 waterproof and breathability rating
  • Effective thermal insulation for cold-weather performance
  • Windproof material blocks harsh mountain air
  • Durable construction handles repeated heavy use

Cons

  • Fit is optimized for athletic skiing movement
  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproof coating
  • Limited to adult female sizing options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Dare 2b ski pants remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using heavy-duty laundry soaps or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  • Drying: Air dry whenever possible, ideally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  • Re-waterproofing: Over time, you may need to apply a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment to maintain the outer fabric's ability to bead off water.
  • Compatibility: The athletic cut is designed to fit over standard thermal base layers comfortably, ensuring a full range of motion without restricting your skiing posture.
