FAQs
Are these pants suitable for snowboarding?
Yes, the durable construction and waterproof ratings make them suitable for snowboarding as well as skiing.
What does the 35/35 rating mean?
This refers to the ARED fabric's waterproof and breathability ratings, signifying high-level protection against the elements.
Can I put these in the dryer?
Yes, but only on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
Do these pants run true to size?
They are designed with an active fit for sports; refer to the size guide for your specific UK dress size.
Are the seams taped?
Yes, the construction includes technical reinforcements to ensure water does not enter through the seams.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the surface fabric
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Use a technical DWR spray-on treatment after washing.
Feeling damp inside the pants
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers. Cotton layers trap sweat and prevent the breathable membrane from functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dare 2b pants remain effective, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you wear thermal base layers underneath for optimal moisture management.
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild technical garment detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the technical fibers.
