Product Information

Full details

This Dare 2b Ski Jacket in Black, size XXXXL, is designed for adult males seeking durable and comfortable outerwear for the slopes. Its key benefit is the ARED 30/30 fabric technology, offering waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. A potential consideration is that while it features a printed design, the primary focus is on technical performance rather than a minimalist aesthetic.

FAQs

This jacket is specifically designed for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding, offering protection against cold, wind, and snow.

How do I wash and care for the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash on a 30°C delicate cycle using a technical cleaner. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat. Reapply a DWR finish periodically to maintain water repellency.

Is the jacket insulated?

Does the hood have adjustments?

What are the pocket configurations?

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold temperatures?

The jacket provides high warmth and protection against the elements, making it suitable for cold conditions. Layering with thermal base and mid-layers can further enhance warmth for extreme cold.

What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?

ARED 30/30 is Dare 2b's fabric technology that signifies a high level of waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance, suitable for demanding outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following the care instructions. Ensure all seams are sealed and zippers are fully closed.

Jacket feels damp inside.

The jacket may not be breathable enough for the activity level, or the fabric needs cleaning. Ensure the internal vents (if any) are open and consider washing the jacket with a technical cleaner to restore breathability.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Snowskirt is not staying in place.

Ensure the snowskirt is properly fastened around your waist. Check for any damage to the elastic or closure mechanism. Adjust the jacket fit to ensure it sits snugly.
