Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2B Achieve II Ski Trousers are designed for adult skiers and snowboarders who require high-performance gear that balances weather protection with unrestricted movement. Featuring a 20,000mm waterproof rating, these polyester trousers provide excellent defense against snow and wind while remaining breathable enough for active days on the mountain. One caveat to keep in mind is that while they are highly durable, the specialized technical fabrics require careful maintenance to preserve their waterproof DWR coating over time.

FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

The Achieve II series is designed as a shell layer with a focus on breathability and waterproof performance; they are best paired with thermal base layers.

Can I remove the braces?

Yes, the trousers come with detachable braces, allowing you to wear them as standard trousers or with the braces attached.

What does 20,000mm waterproof mean?

This indicates the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 20,000mm column of water before moisture begins to seep through, indicating high-level protection.

Are the knees reinforced?

Yes, the trousers feature articulated knees to improve comfort and durability during active movement.

How should I wash them?

Use a specialized technical garment cleaner on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry to maintain the integrity of the taped seams.

Do these have pockets?

Yes, the trousers include two zip-entry side pockets for secure storage of small essentials.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a technical waterproofing spray and activate it according to the product instructions.

Snow entering boots

Ensure the internal snow gaiters are fully pulled over the boots and that the elastic cuff is sitting snugly against the boot shell.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent 20,000mm waterproof protection
  • Highly flexible four-way stretch material
  • Detachable braces add versatility
  • Reinforced hems for long-term wear
  • Articulated knees improve comfort during movement

Cons

  • Polyester material requires specific cleaning care
  • Limited pockets compared to some cargo-style trousers
  • DWR coating needs periodic re-application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your trousers, first adjust the waist tabs to your preferred tightness. If you prefer a traditional overall-style fit, attach the included braces and adjust the strap length. When preparing for a trip, ensure the integral gaiters are pulled down securely over your ski or snowboard boots to form a tight seal. For care, wash the trousers using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish. Always drip dry the garment rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer to protect the taped seams.
