FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold?
These trousers are designed for skiing and feature water-repellent and breathable softshell fabric, offering good protection in cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
What is the material composition?
The trousers are made from a blend of 60% recycled polyester and 40% polyester.
How do I know if the slim bootcut fit will work for me?
The slim bootcut is designed for a modern look and to fit over ski boots. If you prefer a looser fit around the lower leg, these may not be the ideal choice. It is recommended to try them on with your ski boots if possible.
Can these be worn for activities other than skiing?
Yes, they are suitable for other winter activities like snowboarding, hiking, or general use in cold and wet weather due to their water-repellent and breathable properties.
What does 'Ilus D-Lab' refer to?
Ilus D-Lab is Dare2b's proprietary technology for technical fabrics, known for its performance characteristics like breathability and water repellency.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. A general guideline is to reapply when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric. Typically, this might be after several washes or significant wear.
Are these trousers insulated?
The description does not specify insulation. They are made of softshell fabric, which provides warmth through its structure and wind resistance, but are typically designed to be layered with thermal base layers for insulation.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the zip gussets are fully open if needed. The 4-way stretch should provide ample room.
Snow is entering ski boots
Check that the snow gaiters are properly positioned and secured around your ski boots. Ensure they are not torn or damaged.
Fabric is not repelling water effectively
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following product instructions. Ensure the trousers are clean before reapplication.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
