Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2B Womens/Ladies Liberty II Ski Trousers are designed for adult female skiers seeking comfort and protection on the slopes. Their key benefit is the combination of 4-way stretch, waterproof, and breathable fabric with high-loft insulation, ensuring warmth and freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that the loose fit might not be preferred by those seeking a very snug, performance-focused silhouette, and the size guide requires careful attention. Key features include waterproof and breathable Ared technology, taped seams for complete weather protection, integral gaiters, and multiple zip pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What kind of conditions are these trousers best suited for?

These trousers are ideal for cold to very cold skiing conditions, offering excellent warmth, waterproofing, and breathability thanks to their high-loft insulation and Ared technology.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the provided size guide image and compare your measurements. Note that brand sizes may vary, so checking your specific measurements against the chart is crucial. The loose fit can be adjusted slightly with the detachable belt.

Are these trousers suitable for non-skiing activities?

While designed for skiing, their waterproof and warm properties make them suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where protection from the elements is needed.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

The Liberty II Ski Trousers feature a total of six pockets: five zip pockets and one cargo pocket, providing ample storage space.

What does 'Integral Gaiters' mean?

Integral gaiters are built-in cuffs at the bottom of the trouser legs designed to fit snugly over ski boots, preventing snow from entering your boots and keeping your lower legs dry and warm.

Can the belt be removed?

Yes, the belt is detachable, allowing you to remove it or replace it with your own belt if preferred.

How should I clean the trousers to maintain their performance?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Periodic re-application of a DWR finish is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite waterproof fabric

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the zip hem and gaiters are fully closed and sealed. Re-apply a DWR treatment if water is no longer beading on the surface.

Trousers feel too warm

Consider wearing fewer base layers. The high-loft insulation can provide significant warmth, so adjust your layering system based on the temperature.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to help it glide smoothly.

Belt does not stay fastened

Ensure the buckle is properly secured. If the issue persists, the belt may need replacement.

Care Instructions:
