FAQs
Is the 'Moonlight Denim' material real denim?
No, while the aesthetic is 'Moonlight Denim', the jacket is constructed from recycled waterproof and breathable stretch fabric with ARED 30/30 technology. The 'Denim' refers to its unique visual finish, not traditional cotton denim.
How warm is this jacket truly?
The jacket features Sub Zero Warmth technology with recycled high-warmth padding, designed to keep you warm in temperatures as low as -24 degrees Celsius. Actual warmth can vary depending on activity level and layering.
What specific ski features does this jacket have?
It includes an internal mesh pocket with a goggle lens wipe cloth, a dedicated ski pass pocket on the sleeve, and a fixed snow skirt with a gel grip to prevent snow entry.
How do I properly wash my Dare2B Ski Jacket?
Close all zippers and fastenings. Machine wash cold (30°C) using a technical outerwear cleaner. Do not use conventional detergents, fabric softeners, bleach, or iron the jacket. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Is the jacket breathable for active skiing?
Yes, the ARED 30/30 recycled stretch fabric is engineered to be both highly waterproof and breathable, allowing perspiration to escape during high-energy activities to maintain internal comfort.
Does the hood provide good protection?
Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood with concealed adjusters, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal protection against wind, snow, and cold without impeding visibility.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof than before.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) coating might need reapplication. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then apply a specialized DWR treatment for outerwear, following the product instructions.
I'm feeling cold despite the jacket's warmth rating.
Ensure you are using an effective layering system. A good base layer wicks moisture, and a mid-layer provides additional insulation. Check that the jacket's fit is not too tight, which can compress insulation, or too loose, allowing cold air in. Ensure all zippers and adjusters are properly secured.
My goggles are fogging up frequently.
Utilize the internal mesh pocket with the included goggle lens wipe to keep your goggles clean. Ensure your helmet and goggle vents are open and not blocked, and that your hood is adjusted to allow adequate airflow around your head without obstructing goggle ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started

Compatibility
This jacket is designed to be compatible with standard ski pants, helmets, and other ski accessories. Its cut allows for layering without restricting movement. The fixed snow skirt is designed to integrate seamlessly with most ski pants to prevent snow entry.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your ski jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical outerwear cleaner, not conventional detergent. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage waterproof membranes.
- No Fabric Softener: Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or iron the jacket, as these can degrade the waterproof and breathable coatings.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
