FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?
These trousers offer good insulation and protection. For very cold conditions, layering appropriate thermal base layers underneath is recommended.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Dare2B, using your waist, hip, and inseam measurements. The product information specifies this is a UK size 10.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof and breathable properties make them suitable for other winter outdoor activities like snowboarding, hiking, or general cold-weather wear.
What does 'ARED 15/15' mean?
ARED 15/15 refers to the fabric's performance rating: 15,000mm for waterproofness and 15,000g/m²/24hr for breathability.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
The DWR finish can be reactivated by tumble drying after washing. Reapplication with a spray or wash-in product is recommended when water no longer beads effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or extensive use.
Are the embellishments durable?
The crystal embellishments are part of the design. While generally durable, it is recommended to follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and ironing, to maintain their appearance.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. If the issue persists, the fabric's waterproof treatment may be worn out and might require professional re-waterproofing.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Ensure zippers are clean and free from debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a dry bar of soap along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Trousers feel less breathable than expected
Check that the internal vents (if applicable) are open and that the fabric is clean. Excessive dirt or residue can impede breathability. Ensure you are not wearing excessive layers underneath that might trap moisture.
