Product Information

Full details

This Dare 2B Eagle III ski jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable and weather-resistant outer layer for winter activities. Its key benefit is comprehensive protection against water, wind, and abrasion, thanks to ARED 30/30 fabric technology and a PFC-free DWR finish. A potential caveat is that while it offers high warmth, it may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layering.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket offers good warmth and wind protection. For extremely cold conditions, layering with a warm mid-layer and base layer is recommended.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the size guide provided in the product description. It lists chest measurements for each size (XS to 5XL).

What does 'PFC-free' mean for the DWR finish?

PFC-free means the Durable Water Repellent finish does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than skiing?

Yes, its waterproof, windproof, and breathable features make it suitable for various outdoor activities in cold or wet weather, such as hiking or general winter wear.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

Reapply the DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or heavy use.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features taped seams to enhance its waterproof capabilities by sealing the stitching lines.

What is the 'Scrim Back Panel'?

A scrim back panel is a lightweight fabric lining, often used to add structure or breathability to a specific area of the garment.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of beeswax to the teeth of the zipper and work it back and forth.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the inner pockets are clear and the jacket is clean. Check that the vents (if any) are open. Over time, breathability can decrease; a proper wash and re-proof may help.

Snowskirt is difficult to secure

Ensure the snowskirt is laid flat and the jacket is zipped up correctly. The snowskirt is designed to create a seal and may feel snug.
