FAQs

What is ARED 20/30 fabric?

ARED 20/30 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology developed by Dare 2b, offering a balance of protection from the elements and comfort during physical activity. '20/30' refers to its hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and breathability ratings.

How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?

If water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric, but instead soaks into the outer material, it's time to re-proof. This is usually necessary after several washes or significant wear.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent wind protection and is waterproof, but its primary insulation comes from the layers worn underneath. For very cold conditions, layering with a fleece or insulated mid-layer is recommended.

Are the pockets waterproof or just water-repellent?

The pockets feature water-repellent zips, meaning they offer good protection against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it's advisable to keep sensitive items in a waterproof pouch within the pockets.

How should I wash this jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric conditioners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat.

What does 'wired peaked hood' mean?

A wired peaked hood has a flexible wire integrated into the edge of the brim. This allows you to shape the peak to better shield your face from rain and wind, keeping it out of your eyes.

Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity sports?

Yes, the ARED 20/30 fabric and underarm ventilation zips make it suitable for high-intensity activities by managing moisture and allowing airflow to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through seams.

Ensure the jacket has been washed and re-proofed according to care instructions. For persistent issues, the seam tape may be damaged and require professional repair.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if needed.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow. Ensure you are not overheating by wearing too many layers underneath. Check that the breathability of your base layers is not compromised.

Reduced water repellency on the outer fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a DWR re-proofing treatment as per the product instructions.
