FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket is designed for high warmth and offers significant insulation, making it suitable for cold winter conditions. For extremely low temperatures, layering with a warm base and mid-layer is recommended.
What does 'ARED 30/30' mean?
ARED 30/30 is Dare 2b's proprietary fabric technology that signifies its waterproof (30,000mm rating) and breathable (30,000g/m²/24hr rating) capabilities, providing excellent protection and comfort.
How do I clean the jacket?
Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical wash. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I use this jacket for everyday wear?
While the jacket provides excellent protection, its specialized features like the snowskirt are optimized for snow sports. It can be worn for general cold-weather activities but may be warmer or more technical than needed for casual use.
What type of pockets does it have?
It features a ski pass pocket, two zipped side pockets, and one zipped chest pocket for secure storage.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is attached to the jacket and is not designed to be removed.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for the DWR finish?
It means the Durable Water Repellent finish does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash and tumble dry, and consider reapplying a DWR treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a small amount of silicone spray to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure the inner layers are not too thick and are made of moisture-wicking material. Check that the ventilation (if applicable) is open and the fabric's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue.
Snowskirt is not sealing properly.
Ensure the snowskirt is fully extended and secured around your waist or ski pants. Check for any damage or obstructions.
