The Dare 2b Apex 3 Layer Jacket is designed for adult males seeking durable, waterproof, and breathable protection for challenging outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing unrestricted movement and full weather protection without compromising comfort, though its specialized construction may be more suited to active pursuits than casual wear. This jacket utilizes ARED 20/30 fabric and AEP kinematics technology to ensure dryness, breathability, and freedom of movement.

A 3-layer construction means the jacket has three distinct layers: an outer face fabric, a waterproof/breathable membrane, and an inner lining, all bonded together. This provides enhanced durability, waterproofing, and breathability compared to 2-layer or 2.5-layer jackets.
The jacket itself is windproof and waterproof, providing excellent protection against elements. For extreme cold, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers and base layers. The jacket's performance in cold depends on the layering system used beneath it.
The jacket features AEP Kinematics for articulation at key points. Try it on with the type of layers you would typically wear underneath. Move your arms in various directions to ensure there is no restriction, especially around the shoulders and elbows.
Re-proofing is recommended when water no longer beads effectively on the outer fabric, typically after several washes or prolonged use in wet conditions. Follow the specific product instructions for re-proofing sprays or washes.
No, it is strongly recommended to use a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Regular detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners can damage the waterproof membrane and the DWR coating, reducing the jacket's performance.
AEP Kinematics refers to the jacket's ergonomic design and articulation points, specifically engineered to work with the body's natural movement. This allows for unrestricted motion during active pursuits without the garment riding up or restricting movement.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Follow the re-proofing instructions in the Care section to restore water repellency.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residue can impede breathability. Check that internal vents or zippers (if present) are open. Wash according to care instructions.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Confirm that all seams are properly taped. If the taping appears damaged or detached, contact customer support. Ensure outer garments do not have abrasive elements that could damage the tape.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and adjustable cuffs/hood are properly secured before use.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for outdoor and athletic use. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth. Compatible with most hiking and outdoor gear.
