FAQs
What does 'iLUS D-Lab Stretch Softshell' mean?
This refers to Dare 2b's proprietary fabric technology, which offers a combination of stretch, softness, windproofing, and waterproofing while maintaining breathability.
Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?
These pants provide wind and water protection, which are crucial for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. The pants are designed with a sleek, fitted silhouette, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.
Can the bootcut hem be adjusted?
The hem features a zip gusset which allows for some adjustment to fit over different ski boots, but the overall bootcut shape is fixed.
What is the benefit of the recycled polyester content?
Using recycled polyester reduces the environmental impact by repurposing materials that would otherwise be waste, contributing to sustainability.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and water repellency. Follow the washing and drying instructions carefully, and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment as needed.
Troubleshooting
Water is not repelling effectively after some use.
The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Follow specific product care instructions for re-waterproofing, which may involve a cool tumble dry or a specialized spray.
Pants feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The 'sleek fitted silhouette' is designed for a close fit; if you require more room, consider trying a larger size or a different model.
Snow is getting into ski boots.
Confirm that the snow gaitors are properly extended and secured around your ski boots. Ensure the hem zips are fully closed after fitting them over your boots.
