What is the best way to clean this jacket?

Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating may be worn off; clean the jacket and apply a fresh waterproof treatment spray.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket
Ensure your layering system is breathable; avoid wearing heavy cotton underneath, which traps moisture.
Zipper sticking
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is free of snow and ice buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the technical performance of your Dare 2b Halfpipe IV Ski Jacket, follow these guidelines. When cleaning, use a technical garment wash rather than standard detergent to preserve the waterproof membrane. After washing, ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer shell if water stops beading on the surface. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use during the off-season. Always check that the snowskirt is properly snapped to your pants or tucked away to avoid wear during transportation.
