Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Torrek Lite Trousers are designed for adult women seeking lightweight, durable, and flexible outdoor wear for high-energy mountain activities. Their key benefit is unrestricted movement and protection from the elements due to ultra-stretch fabric and wind-resistant properties. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, making them best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions. Key features include articulated knees, quick-drying fabric, functional zipped pockets, and UV protection.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for cold weather?
The Torrek Lite Trousers are wind-resistant, which helps with insulation in breezy conditions. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I determine the best size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Dare 2b, paying attention to waist and leg measurements. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility.
Can I wear these for running?
Yes, their lightweight, stretch, and quick-drying properties make them suitable for running, especially in cooler or variable conditions.
What does PFAS compliant mean?
PFAS-compliant means the product has been manufactured without certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are sometimes used in DWR treatments but are subject to environmental and health regulations.
How long will the water-repellent finish last?
The DWR finish is durable but will naturally wear down with use and washing. Reapplication of a DWR treatment can restore its performance.
Are these trousers suitable for hiking in the summer?
Yes, the lightweight fabric and UPF 50+ sun protection make them a good choice for summer hiking, especially in exposed or sunny conditions.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The articulated knee design and stretch fabric should offer ample freedom of movement.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The trousers have a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer layer. Reapply DWR treatment if performance has diminished.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
