Product Information

Full details

These Dare 2b Glide Ski Trousers are designed for adult females seeking comfortable and protective ski wear. Their key benefit is the ARED 15/15 fabric technology, offering excellent waterproofing and breathability for ski adventures. A potential caveat for some users might be the 'boot cut' fit if a slimmer profile is preferred.

FAQs

What does ARED 15/15 mean?

ARED 15/15 refers to the fabric's technical rating, indicating 15,000mm waterproof protection and 15,000g/m²/24hr breathability. This ensures excellent defense against wet conditions while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Are these trousers insulated?

The product description does not specify insulation. They are designed as a softshell outer layer, and additional thermal layers may be needed depending on weather conditions.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Dare 2b for accurate measurements. The UK size for this variant is 18.

Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?

Yes, the waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities like hiking or snowboarding. The boot cut might be less ideal for general wear.

What is the benefit of the zip gusset?

The zip gusset allows you to open or close the fabric around the ankle area, providing a more adjustable and comfortable fit, especially when wearing different types of footwear.

How do I maintain the waterproof properties?

Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, and ensure the trousers are properly dried. Re-waterproofing treatments can be applied periodically if performance diminishes.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside

Ensure the garment is properly washed (without fabric softener) and fully dried. Check that the snow gaiters are properly sealed.

Ankle zips are stiff

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If necessary, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.

Fit is too loose around the legs

Utilize the zip gusset at the ankle to adjust the fit. For overall fit, ensure the correct UK size was selected.
