Dare 2b Switch Out Jacket - Blue - Size: 7-8 Years

The Dare 2b Switch Out Jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, it serves best as an outer shell layer over warmer insulating garments like fleece or down.

Refer to the Dare 2b size chart for children's jackets. Measure your child's chest, waist, and height and compare these measurements to the chart to determine the best fit. It's often recommended to size up if your child is between sizes or if you plan to layer extensively.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, if water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, it's time to reapply. This might be after several washes or prolonged use in wet conditions.

The jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be detached.

ARED 15/15 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathability rating. '15' typically indicates 15,000mm of waterproofness (resistance to water penetration) and '15' indicates 15,000g/m²/24hr of breathability (amount of water vapor that can pass through).

The reflective details are designed for durability but can be affected by harsh washing or abrasion. Following the care instructions, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods, will help preserve them.

Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions if necessary. Check that all seams are properly sealed.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from dirt or residue. Check that ventilation (if any) is not obstructed.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) to help them glide smoothly.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, gently press with a cool iron on a cloth barrier. For significant damage, contact customer support.
