FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
Yes, the Dare 2b Baseplate II Ski Trousers are designed with high warmth and are padded for insulation against the cold.
What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?
ARED 30/30 is Dare 2b's own fabric technology that signifies a high level of waterproofness (30,000mm) and breathability (30,000/m²/24hrs), providing excellent protection and comfort.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
While optimized for skiing, their waterproof, breathable, and warm features make them suitable for other cold-weather activities like snowboarding or intense winter hiking.
How do I adjust the fit?
The trousers feature an adjustable, elasticated waistband and belt loops, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and security.
Are the materials eco-friendly?
The lining is made from recycled polyester. Additionally, the fabric is PFC Free, PFOA Free, and PFOS Free, indicating a reduced environmental impact.
How should I clean these trousers?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric wash, do not bleach or use fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat to maintain performance.
What is the 'Tab Up' hem feature?
The 'Tab Up' hem feature is likely a small tab or loop designed to secure the hem of the trousers, perhaps to prevent dragging or to adjust length slightly, though specific mechanics may vary.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing thinner base layers. If the fit is consistently too snug, alternative sizing or models may be required.
Water seeping through fabric
Check that all seams are properly taped. If the DWR finish has worn off, re-apply using a suitable fabric treatment after washing and tumble drying.
Zippers sticking
Clean the zipper track with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to ease movement.
Snow entering at the ankle
Ensure the snow gaiters are properly pulled down and secured over your ski boots. Check gaiter elastic for wear and tear.
