FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
These trousers offer insulating properties and are designed for skiing. For very extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Dare 2b for accurate measurements. The waistband is adjustable, but the core fit should be based on waist and leg measurements.
Can these trousers be worn for activities other than skiing?
Yes, they are suitable for other snow sports like snowboarding or simply for walking in snowy conditions due to their waterproof and windproof features.
What does PFC-free, PFOA-free, PFOS-free mean?
This refers to the water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric. It means the trousers are made without using certain chemicals (perfluorinated compounds) that can be harmful to the environment.
How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
The frequency depends on usage and care. If water no longer beads up on the surface, it's time to re-apply the finish. Follow the instructions on the chosen care product.
Are the trousers insulated?
The description mentions insulating properties, suggesting they offer some warmth. However, they are not heavily insulated and are designed to work with layering systems.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still effective. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment if necessary. Check all seams for damage.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth carefully with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement.
Adjust the waistband for a more comfortable fit. Ensure no items in the pockets are hindering movement. The articulated knees are designed for flexibility, so confirm they are aligned correctly with your leg position.
Snow enters the boots despite the gaiter.
Ensure the snow gaiter is properly pulled down over your ski boots and is snug. Check if the gaiter material is damaged.
