FAQs
What is iLUS D-Lab Stretch Softshell?
iLUS D-Lab Stretch Softshell is an advanced fabric technology used by Dare 2b that provides a combination of wind and water protection, breathability, and 4-way stretch for comfort and performance in outdoor activities.
Are these pants fully waterproof or water-repellent?
The pants feature a water-repellent finish and are designed to be wind and water protective. While they offer significant protection against the elements, they are not rated as fully waterproof for prolonged immersion.
How do I ensure the bootcut hem fits over my ski boots?
The bootcut hem is designed to accommodate most ski boots. The zip gusset at the hem allows for slight adjustment to help achieve a comfortable and secure fit over your specific boots.
Can I wear these pants for activities other than skiing?
Yes, the stretch, breathability, and weather resistance make them suitable for other winter activities such as snowboarding, snowshoeing, or even hiking in cold, wet conditions.
What does 'sleek fitted silhouette' mean?
This refers to a tailored, close-fitting design that follows the natural lines of the body, offering a modern and streamlined appearance.
How should I care for my ski pants to maintain their performance?
Machine wash gently at 30°C with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Reapplying a water-repellent finish periodically is recommended.
What materials are used in these pants?
The fabric composition is 60% Recycled Polyester and 40% Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Pant feels restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 4-way stretch fabric offers significant flexibility, so a properly fitting size should not impede movement.
Snow enters the pant leg.
Check that the integrated snow gaitors are properly pulled down and sealed around your ski boots. Ensure the zip gusset at the hem is closed as much as possible for a snug fit.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
The fabric has a water-repellent finish. If water absorption occurs, the finish may need to be reapplied. Follow care instructions to wash and then apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
