Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Eagle IV Ski Jacket is a high-performance winter garment designed for adult male skiers who require reliable protection in challenging mountain conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of ARED 35/35K stretch fabric, which offers elite-level waterproofing and breathability, paired with high-warmth padding for all-day comfort. While it is built for extreme performance, potential users should note that as a highly technical shell, it is specifically optimized for active skiing rather than casual urban wear.

FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Eagle IV features a grown-on (fixed) hood designed for a seamless fit.
What does 35/35K mean?
This refers to the fabric's hydrostatic head (waterproofing) of 35,000mm and breathability rating of 35,000g/m2/24hrs.
Can I use this jacket for snowboarding?
Yes, the stretch fabric and high weather protection make it suitable for both skiing and snowboarding.
Does it have pit zips for ventilation?
The jacket is designed for high breathability, but please check the specific model configuration for manual vents.
How should I clean the jacket?
Wash with technical cleaners on a low-temperature cycle and avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR re-proofing treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Check that your base layers are moisture-wicking and not cotton, as moisture buildup is often caused by trapped sweat rather than external leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Dare 2b Eagle IV, keep the fabric clean of salt and dirt, which can degrade the waterproof finish over time. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner, avoiding traditional laundry detergents that can strip the water-repellent coating. After several washes, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore the fabric's performance. Always store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain its shape and insulation properties.
