FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof or water-repellent?
These trousers are water-repellent, meaning they can resist light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy or prolonged downpours.
What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection for the skin.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Dare 2b, which typically includes measurements for waist and leg length. The product information states this is for UK size 7-8.
Can these trousers be worn in cold weather?
These trousers are lightweight and best suited for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, consider layering or using insulated trousers.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water-repellent finish, avoid using fabric softeners and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Reapplying a waterproofing treatment periodically can also help.
What material are the trousers made from?
The trousers are made from polyester, a durable and quick-drying synthetic material.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight around the waist.
Adjust the internal elasticated waistband using the provided button and elastic system for a more comfortable fit.
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
This is normal wear. Re-apply a suitable fabric waterproofing spray or wash according to care instructions to maintain performance.
Fabric snagged during rough play.
For minor snags, you can carefully trim loose threads. For larger tears, consider a patch repair kit designed for outdoor gear.
