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.
