FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
Yes, the trousers feature high warmth and insulating properties, making them suitable for cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your waist measurement. The trousers are designed for a snug fit, so if you plan to wear very bulky layers underneath, you might consider sizing up.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?
While designed for skiing and snowboarding, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for other winter outdoor activities such as hiking or snowshoeing, provided the fit is comfortable for those activities.
What is the warranty period for these trousers?
Please refer to the specific retailer or Dare 2b's official website for current warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
How do I clean the trousers without damaging the waterproof coating?
Machine wash at 30°C with a technical wash detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
Are these trousers fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
These trousers utilize ARED 30/30 fabric technology and a Durable Water Repellent finish, providing substantial waterproofing suitable for snow and rain conditions encountered during winter sports.
Troubleshooting
Trousers are leaking or no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers according to care instructions and then re-apply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure seams are still sealed; if not, professional repair may be needed.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.
Check if the fabric is dirty or if fabric softener was used during washing. Clean the trousers with a technical wash detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners in future washes.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zippers with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Snow gaiters are not sealing properly.
Ensure the snow gaiters are correctly positioned over the ski boots and that there are no obstructions. Check for any damage to the elastic or closure mechanism of the gaiter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate use. Ensure the zip fly and button fastening are secure. Adjust the waist using the internal adjustment features for a comfortable, snug fit. The snow gaiters should be positioned over your ski boots to create a seal against snow ingress.
Compatibility: The design is intended for use with ski or snowboard boots. The reinforced hem and snow gaiters are specifically designed to work with ski boot cuffs.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash detergent suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying can help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For optimal performance, it is recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the chosen re-proofing agent.
