FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for winter mountaineering?

While wind-resistant and quick-drying, these trousers are lightweight and offer limited insulation. They are best suited for three-season use or as a shell layer over thermal base layers in colder conditions.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The trousers should fit comfortably without being too tight or too loose. The articulated knees should align with your knees when standing, and there should be no restriction of movement when bending or stretching.

Can I wear these for everyday casual use?

While comfortable, their technical design is optimized for active outdoor pursuits. For casual wear, you might find they are more performance-oriented than a typical casual trouser.

What does PFAS Compliant mean?

PFAS Compliant means that the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are considered harmful to the environment.

How durable is the fabric?

The fabric is engineered for high durability with commercial-grade abrasion resistance, making it suitable for rugged use in outdoor environments.

Is there a warranty on these trousers?

Please refer to the retailer's or Dare 2b's official website for specific warranty information regarding this product.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

Clean the trousers thoroughly to remove dirt and oils. Then, apply a DWR re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure all detergent is rinsed out. Tumble drying on a low heat can sometimes help restore softness.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Reduced range of motion.

Verify that the size is correct and that no underlayers are bunching up. Ensure the articulated knee design is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trousers; no specific setup is required. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Detergent Type: Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's technical properties and DWR finish.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  5. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, use a technical re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel after several washes. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
