FAQs
Are these pants suitable for snowboarding?
Yes, while designed for skiing, the durable polyester and waterproof ARED 35/35 construction provide excellent protection for snowboarders as well.
How should I choose the right size?
The pants are sized by UK dress sizes. It is recommended to choose your standard size, keeping in mind you may want extra room for thermal base layers underneath.
Are these pants machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings.
Do these pants have pockets?
Yes, the Diminish II line includes functional pockets designed to hold small essentials securely while on the slopes.
What does the 35/35 rating mean?
The first number refers to a 35,000mm waterproof rating, and the second refers to the 35,000g/m2/24hr breathability rating, both of which indicate high-performance technical gear.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment to restore waterproof performance.
Feeling damp inside the pants after a long day.
This may be due to moisture buildup from sweating. Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic base layers rather than cotton, which traps sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dare 2b ski pants last for many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: These pants are designed to be worn over thermal base layers. Ensure your ski boots are compatible with the integrated snow gaiters to prevent powder from entering.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the ARED fabric and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use the lowest heat setting to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the outer material over time.
