FAQs
Are these pants machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle with a dedicated technical gear wash to maintain the waterproof membrane.
Do these pants run true to size?
The Effused III range follows standard UK dress sizing. If you prefer extra room for thick base layers, some users opt to size up.
Can I use these for hiking?
While highly technical, they are specifically insulated and shaped for skiing. They may be too warm for high-intensity summer or autumn hiking.
What does ARED 35/35 mean?
This indicates the fabric's ability to remain waterproof under high pressure (35k) and its high level of breathability (35k), ensuring comfort during strenuous activity.
Do I need to wear thermals underneath?
It is highly recommended to wear a base layer for moisture management and added warmth, though the pants are insulated enough for milder days.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be refreshed. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
Feeling damp inside during high-intensity skiing
Check your base layers. If you are wearing cotton, it will trap sweat. Switch to synthetic or merino wool base layers to allow the ARED 35/35 breathability to function correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dare 2b Effused III Ski Pants continue to perform at their peak, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the fit allows for comfortable movement; it should feel snug enough to keep warmth in but loose enough to accommodate base layers if necessary.
- Layering: Wear these over thermal leggings or base layers for the best thermal performance.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical gear detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is required, use the lowest heat setting to avoid damaging the technical fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
