FAQs
How do I wash the Dare2B Ski Trousers Baseplate II?
Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical wash. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with a tennis ball to help re-distribute the filling and reactivate the DWR finish.
Can I wear these for activities other than skiing?
Yes, their waterproof, breathable, and insulating properties make them suitable for other snow sports like snowboarding, or even for general winter hiking in wet or snowy conditions.
Are the snow gaiters removable?
The description does not specify if they are removable. Typically, integrated snow gaiters are not designed to be removed.
What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?
ARED 30/30 is Dare2B's own fabric technology, indicating a high level of waterproofness (30,000 mm) and breathability (30,000 g/m²/24hr).
How do I adjust the waist?
The waistline is elasticated and adjustable, likely featuring an internal drawcord or Velcro tabs to customize the fit.
Are these trousers PFC-free?
Yes, the product description states they are PFC Free, PFOA Free, and PFOS Free, indicating an environmentally conscious DWR treatment.
What is the fit like?
The trousers have a 'Snug Fit' designed to be streamlined and allow for unrestricted movement without excess bulk.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading on the surface
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the trousers according to care instructions and use a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Seams leaking
Check if the taped seams are intact. Minor damage might be repairable with seam sealant. For significant issues, contact customer support.
Zip feels stiff
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and apply a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant.
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the garment is not overheated during washing or drying, as this can damage the membrane. Check that you are not wearing non-breathable base layers underneath. Ensure ventilation features (if any) are open.
