Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Glide Ski Pants are designed for female skiers who demand a balance of technical mountain performance and sophisticated aesthetics. Featuring ARED 15/15 waterproof and breathable technology, these pants offer reliable protection against the elements while maintaining a sleek, slim-leg bootcut silhouette enhanced with Swarovski crystals. While they provide excellent comfort and protection, the slim-fit design may feel restrictive for those who prefer roomier layers underneath, requiring careful consideration of base layer thickness.

FAQs
Are these pants insulated?
The Glide ski pants use a softshell construction, which provides a balance of wind protection and flexibility. They are intended to be worn with a base layer for warmth.
Do these fit true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK dress sizing, but the slim-leg fit means they are more form-fitting than standard ski trousers.
Can I wear these for snowboarding?
While designed for skiing, their waterproof and breathable nature makes them suitable for snowboarding, provided the slim fit does not restrict your preferred stance.
How do I maintain the waterproof rating?
Regular washing with specialized technical detergents and re-applying a DWR spray will keep the waterproof membrane performing at its peak.
Are the crystals prone to falling off?
They are securely applied, but machine washing without turning the garment inside out or using a laundry bag may increase the risk of damage.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Re-apply a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment after cleaning.
Difficulty fitting over large ski boots
Ensure the hem gussets are fully unzipped before sliding the pants over the boots and secure the hem carefully once in place.
Crystals look dull or loose
Hand wash the area gently if needed and ensure the pants are washed inside out in a protective mesh laundry bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Dare 2b Glide Ski Pants, always ensure the hem gussets are adjusted properly before putting on your boots to prevent excessive strain on the zipper. For care, wash the garment in cold water with a technical outerwear detergent to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the ARED membrane and reduce breathability. Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low, gentle cycle. Because of the Swarovski crystal embellishments, it is recommended to turn the pants inside out before washing to protect the crystals from snagging or scratching against other items.
