Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Glide ski trousers are designed for female skiers who demand a perfect balance between technical mountain performance and sophisticated aesthetics. Featuring ARED 15/15 waterproof and breathable technology, these pants keep you dry and comfortable during long days on the slopes while offering a flattering, slim-leg silhouette enhanced with Swarovski crystals. Please note that the slim-leg bootcut design is tailored for a precise fit, so skiers who prefer a looser, baggy style may find the silhouette more restrictive than standard cargo-style ski pants.

FAQs
Are these pants insulated?
The Glide trousers are constructed with a focus on high-performance shell protection; they are best paired with thermal base layers to regulate warmth.
Can I machine wash these pants with the crystals?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent the crystals from catching on other garments or the machine drum.
What does the 15/15 rating mean?
The 15/15 rating refers to 15,000mm waterproofing and 15,000g/m2 breathability, which is excellent for active skiing in varied weather.
Do these pants have pockets?
The pants feature a sleek design consistent with the slim-leg look, but please check the internal waist or hip area for minimal stowage options.
How do I choose the right size?
The Glide pants are designed to be slim-fitting. We recommend checking your measurements against the brand's size guide, choosing your standard UK dress size for the intended fit.
Troubleshooting
Snow entering boots at the hem
Ensure the internal elastic snow gaiter is pulled securely over the boot shell and that the outer hem is properly adjusted.
Fabric losing water-repellency over time
Use a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment to restore the waterproof finish.
Difficulty fitting over large boots
Unzip the hem gussets fully before sliding the pants over the boots, then zip them back to a comfortable position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Glide pants last for seasons, adhere to proper care guidelines. Always check the internal care label, but generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent that preserves the water-repellent coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability pores of the fabric. After washing, low-heat tumble drying or air drying is recommended to reactivate the waterproof treatment. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration or damage to the decorative crystals. They are compatible with most standard alpine ski boots due to the adjustable hem gussets.
