FAQs

What does 'ARED 35/35' mean?

ARED 35/35 refers to the fabric's performance ratings: 35,000mm for water column (waterproofness) and 35,000 gsm/24hrs for breathability (moisture vapor transmission rate).

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

While the jacket provides excellent windproof and waterproof protection, it is a shell layer. For extreme cold, you will need to layer appropriate insulating garments underneath.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging the waterproof coating?

Use a technical wash or mild liquid detergent on a gentle cycle at 40°C, and do NOT use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish.

Can I use this jacket for running?

Yes, the high breathability and articulation make it suitable for high-intensity activities like running, provided you layer appropriately for temperature.

What is the benefit of the wire peaked hood?

The wire peak helps to keep the hood away from your face and directs water runoff, improving visibility and protection in windy and wet conditions.

Is the jacket PFAS-free?

The product description states it is PFAS Compliant, indicating adherence to standards regarding these chemicals.

What is AEP KINEMATICS technology?

AEP KINEMATICS is a technology that enhances ergonomic design and fabric stretch to provide unrestricted movement and improved comfort during active use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it, or re-apply a dedicated DWR treatment.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check that vents are open and pit zips (if applicable) are unzipped during activity.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax designed for zippers.

Seam tape is peeling.

This indicates a potential delamination issue. Contact customer support for assistance, as this may be a manufacturing defect.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproofing and breathability for extreme weather.
  • Designed for unrestricted movement and comfort.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.
  • Thoughtful design with a peaked hood and adjustable features.

Cons

  • May be overkill for light weather conditions.
  • Technical features might be complex for casual users.
  • Specific care instructions are crucial for maintaining performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Dare 2b Torrek III Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for outdoor and active use. It layers well over thermal base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of towels to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang to dry.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's instructions. This is typically done after washing and drying, often through a spray-on or wash-in treatment.
