FAQs

How warm is the Dare 2b Eagle II Ski Jacket?

This jacket features Sub Zero Warmth technology with recycled high-warmth padding, designed to keep you warm and comfortable in temperatures as low as -24°C.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with ARED 30/30 recycled waterproof and breathable stretch fabric, complemented by a durable water-repellent finish and fully taped seams, ensuring complete waterproof protection.

Does the jacket have a ski pass pocket?

Yes, the Dare 2b Eagle II Ski Jacket includes a dedicated ski pass pocket for convenient lift access.

How do I clean my ski jacket?

Close all zippers and fasteners. Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical wash for waterproof garments. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR finish.

What does ARED 30/30 mean?

ARED 30/30 refers to the fabric's technical specifications for waterproofing and breathability. It signifies that the fabric offers a high level of protection against water penetration while allowing significant moisture vapor to escape from the inside.

Is the jacket environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from recycled waterproof and breathable stretch fabric and uses recycled high-warmth padding. Additionally, its Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish is PFC, PFOA, and PFOS free.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than skiing?

While optimized for skiing with specific features like a snow skirt and ski pass pocket, its excellent warmth and waterproofing make it suitable for other extreme cold-weather activities such as snowboarding, snowshoeing, or general winter outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside or I'm sweating excessively.

This could indicate an issue with layering or breathability. Ensure your base and mid-layers are wicking moisture effectively. Avoid cotton, which retains moisture. If layers are correct, consider unzipping vents (if available, or partially unzip the main zipper) during high-exertion activities to improve airflow and allow the ARED 30/30 fabric to work optimally.

Water isn't beading off the jacket's surface anymore.

The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating or reapplying. First, try washing and tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting, as heat can reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, purchase a PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in treatment from an outdoor retailer and follow its application instructions.

The main zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check if any fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully remove it. If the zipper is just stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (available at outdoor stores) to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can damage it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional warmth retention, effective down to -24°C
  • High-level waterproofing and breathability (ARED 30/30)

  • Integrated ski-specific features enhance on-slope functionality
  • Durable and stretchable fabric for freedom of movement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Dare 2b Eagle II Ski Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on over your base and mid-layers. Adjust the cuffs using the hook-and-loop fasteners and tighten the hem drawcords for a secure fit that seals out snow and cold. Customize the hood's fit using the concealed adjusters to ensure optimal visibility and protection, whether you're wearing a helmet or not.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard ski gear. Its fit allows for appropriate layering, such as a thermal base layer and a fleece mid-layer underneath, without restricting movement. The technical hood is crafted to fit comfortably over most ski helmets. The ski pass pocket and internal goggle pocket are strategically placed for easy access and functionality with other ski essentials.

Care

Proper care will maintain your jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild, non-detergent technical wash designed for waterproof outerwear. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. The heat helps reactivate the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. If machine drying isn't possible, hang to air dry away from direct heat.
  3. DWR Reapplication: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a PFC-free DWR treatment available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the product instructions carefully.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use.
