FAQs
Are these pants suitable for off-piste skiing?
Yes, the ARED 15/15 protection is capable of handling most mountain environments, though they are optimized for resort conditions.
Do I need to wear thermals underneath?
Depending on the ambient temperature, a lightweight base layer is recommended for extra warmth, though the softshell fabric provides a degree of natural insulation.
How should I wash the Swarovski crystal details?
Turn the pants inside out before washing to protect the crystals from direct friction, and always use a delicate laundry bag.
What does ARED 15/15 mean?
It is a performance rating indicating the fabric is waterproof up to 15,000mm and breathable up to 15,000g/m2/24hrs.
Are the pants true to size?
The Glide range uses a slim-leg fit, so if you prefer a looser feel for layering, you may want to consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Zipper at the hem is sticking
Check for any snow or ice buildup in the zipper teeth, melt it away with a hairdryer on a low setting, and wipe clean.
Water starts soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a technical water-repellent spray designed for softshell garments to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Dare 2b Glide Ski Pants in peak condition, ensure the hem gussets are fully unzipped before attempting to pull them over bulky ski boots. This prevents unnecessary strain on the zipper mechanism.
For cleaning, follow the care label instructions provided by Dare 2b, typically suggesting a cool wash with a technical cleaner that preserves waterproofing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the fabric. After washing, ensure the pants are thoroughly dried to reactivate the waterproof properties, ideally using a low-heat tumble cycle if the care label permits.
