FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
These trousers utilize Ared technology for weather protection; while they provide warmth, they are designed as a shell and rely on your base layer system for thermal regulation.
Can I remove the bib completely?
Yes, the bib and braces are fully detachable, allowing you to convert them into standard ski trousers.
How do I wash the Achieve II trousers?
Use a technical wash for waterproof garments, avoid fabric softeners, and follow the care label for drying instructions to preserve the waterproofing.
Will they fit over my snowboard boots?
Yes, the integral gaiters are designed to stretch over most standard ski and snowboard boots.
Are the seams taped?
Yes, the trousers feature fully taped seams to ensure complete waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash with a technical cleaner and reapply a DWR spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate.
Gaiters slipping up during use
Ensure the silicone gripper or elastic band is positioned firmly against the cuff of your ski boot.
Difficulty moving in the trousers
Check that the waistband adjustment is not too tight and verify that no heavy base layers are bunching at the knees.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High 20,000mm waterproof rating for heavy snow and rain
- Excellent mobility provided by four-way stretch fabric
- Highly versatile with detachable bib and braces

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Achieve II trousers, start by adjusting the waistband straps for a snug fit over your base layers. If using the detachable bib and braces, ensure they are securely fastened before heading out. Compatibility is high with most standard ski and snowboard boots, as the integral gaiters are designed to fit securely over the boot shell. For cleaning, use a technical garment wash rather than standard detergent, and occasionally tumble dry on low heat or iron to reactivate the DWR finish. Always rinse off excess salt and dirt after a trip to prevent premature wear.
