Dare 2B Jacket - Black

AEP Kinematics is an ergonomic design philosophy that tailors the jacket's fit and articulation to the body's natural movement, ensuring unrestricted agility and comfort during physical activity.

ARED 35/35K refers to the jacket's technical fabric rating, indicating 35,000mm of hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and 35,000g/m²/24hr of breathability, representing a very high level of protection and comfort.

The DWR treatment should be reapplied when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface. This typically occurs after several washes or significant wear.

Yes, the jacket is windproof and highly waterproof. For very cold weather, layering with appropriate insulating mid-layers is recommended to maintain warmth.

Yes, the ARED 35/35K recycled fabric is engineered for high performance and durability, offering comparable or superior protection and longevity to traditional technical fabrics.

Always use a liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing or a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric's performance properties.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed, the hood is adjusted correctly, and the DWR finish is active. Proper care and maintenance, including regular reapplication of DWR, are crucial for sustained waterproofness.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and zippers are fully closed. Reapply a DWR treatment if the fabric is no longer beading water. Check for any damage to the fabric or coatings.

The jacket's breathable membrane may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring a double rinse, and tumble dry to reactivate the DWR and membrane.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth.

This can be due to internal moisture buildup from perspiration. Ensure you are using appropriate base layers for the activity level and temperature. Open vents if available or adjust layers.

The DWR needs to be reactivated by heat. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. If this does not restore performance, a new DWR treatment may be needed.
