Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Speed III Ski Jacket is designed for adult male skiers who require high-performance gear for extreme mountain conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of ARED 35/35 waterproof and breathable fabric with AEP Kinematics, which ensures protection from the elements without restricting natural movement on the slopes. While it offers excellent thermal regulation, users should note that as a high-performance technical garment, it requires careful maintenance to preserve its waterproofing capabilities.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extremely cold temperatures?
Yes, it includes warm padding for insulation. However, for extreme sub-zero conditions, we recommend layering with a thermal mid-layer.
Does it have a snow skirt?
Yes, the jacket is designed with ski-ready features, which typically includes an integrated snow skirt to prevent powder from entering.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket uses standard adult sizing. It is designed with AEP Kinematics for an ergonomic fit, so it should fit true to size based on your regular chest measurements.
Can I wash this in a normal washing machine?
You can use a standard machine, but you must use a specialized technical detergent. Never use fabric softener.
What does the 35/35 rating mean?
It refers to the high-performance waterproof and breathability ratings, ensuring the jacket keeps water out while allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric surface instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Zipper is sticking or catching
Check for fabric caught in the track. If the zipper is clear but stiff, clean it with a damp cloth and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, always zip all pockets and closures before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner; avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
For drying, a low-heat tumble cycle can help reactivate the water-repellent finish. If you notice water no longer beads off the outer fabric, apply a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical ski wear to restore the garment's integrity.
