FAQs

What is the lowest temperature this jacket is designed for?

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Does the jacket have a snow skirt?

What ski-specific features are included?

It includes a dedicated ski pass pocket, an internal mesh pocket with a goggle lens wipe cloth, and a fixed snow skirt with gel grip.

How should I clean my Dare 2b Eagle II Ski Jacket?

Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, technical outerwear should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a specialized cleaner for waterproof fabrics and air-dried to preserve its integrity and DWR coating.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket has a grown-on technical hood with concealed adjusters to provide a custom, secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp or is wetting out in wet conditions.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplication. Wash the jacket with a technical fabric cleaner, and if necessary, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Feeling cold despite the jacket's warmth rating.

Ensure you are using an appropriate layering system underneath the jacket. A wicking base layer and an insulating mid-layer are crucial for optimal warmth. Also, check that the adjustable cuffs, hem, and hood are properly tightened to trap body heat and prevent cold air ingress.

Ski pass scanner is not reading the pass easily.

Confirm the ski pass is correctly placed in the dedicated ski pass pocket, ensuring no other items or thick layers are obstructing the scanner's signal. The pocket is designed for quick recognition.

Hood feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the concealed adjusters located around the hood. These allow you to customize the fit for comfort and optimal protection, whether worn over a helmet or directly on your head.

The Dare 2b Eagle II Ski Jacket requires minimal setup. Once worn, utilize the concealed adjusters on the grown-on hood to achieve a secure fit that doesn't impede vision. Adjust the cuffs and hem with their respective fasteners to seal out cold and snow, ensuring a snug fit over gloves and ski pants. This jacket is fully compatible with standard ski layering systems, including base layers and mid-layers, allowing you to customize your warmth level. It integrates seamlessly with ski helmets and goggles. For care, it is crucial to follow the garment's specific washing instructions. Typically, technical outerwear made with DWR finishes and waterproof membranes should be washed on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric wash, avoiding harsh detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, which can damage the waterproofing and breathability. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting if permitted, and periodically re-apply a DWR treatment to maintain its water repellency, especially after prolonged use.
