FAQs
What is the main advantage of the ARED 15/15 technology?
ARED 15/15 technology provides a high level of waterproofing (15000mm), windproofing, and breathability (15000g/m²/24hrs), ensuring you stay protected and comfortable in various outdoor conditions.
How do I clean my Dare2b jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent, avoiding powder detergents and fabric softeners. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing.
Does this jacket offer sun protection?
Yes, the jacket features UPF 50+ sun rating, offering excellent protection against harmful UV rays.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.
What kind of pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket includes two zipped side pockets, one inner pocket, and a dedicated mobile phone pocket for secure storage of your essentials.
How does the adjustable hem and cuffs help?
The adjustable hem and stretch binding cuffs help to seal out wind and rain, providing a more personalized and secure fit.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a grown-on hood with an adjustable feature and a wired peak for better shape and visibility.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof or water is soaking in.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure you follow the re-proofing product's instructions carefully. Ensure no detergent residue remains after washing.
Jacket feels clammy or I'm getting too hot inside.
Check that all ventilation features are open if applicable. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath. The breathability of the ARED 15/15 fabric may be overwhelmed by extreme exertion in very humid conditions. Consider a lighter base layer.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zip teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap, then rinse. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat drying and direct ironing on the reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, some repair tapes might offer a temporary fix, but significant damage may not be repairable.
