FAQs

What makes the AEP Kinematics technology beneficial?

AEP Kinematics is specifically designed to map the body's natural movement, providing articulated joints and ergonomic tailoring that enhances freedom of movement and comfort during physical activities like skiing.

How waterproof is the ARED 20/20 fabric?

ARED 20/20 fabric offers a high level of waterproof protection and breathability, making it suitable for challenging weather conditions encountered in mountainous regions.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

The jacket is designed for alpine conditions and includes insulation. For extreme cold, consider layering with additional thermal base and mid-layers underneath.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than skiing?

While optimized for skiing with specific features, its waterproof, breathable, and agile design can make it suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where protection and mobility are key.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

What type of detergent should I use for washing?

It is best to use a small amount of technical wash or liquid detergent specifically designed for outdoor gear. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric's performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

This could be due to insufficient ventilation or condensation from high activity. Ensure zippers are open for airflow when needed. If the fabric's breathability has decreased, it may require re-proofing. Check the care instructions for proper washing and drying.

Water is not beading on the surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to re-apply a DWR treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no assembly. It is designed for direct use upon purchase. Ensure the jacket is compatible with your intended layering system for optimal temperature regulation. To care for your Dare 2b ski jacket and maintain its waterproof and breathable properties, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a small amount of technical wash or liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang to air dry.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing after several washes.
