Dare 2b Kids’ Switch Out Jacket - Blue - 5-6 Years

ARED 15/15 refers to the waterproof and breathability rating of the fabric. It indicates 15,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 15,000g/m²/24hr for breathability, offering good protection against moderate rain and good ventilation.

The jacket provides good protection from wind and rain. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer the jacket with insulating mid-layers like fleece or down to maintain warmth.

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colours. Close all zippers before washing. Avoid bleaching, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

The reflective details are designed to withstand normal wear and washing according to care instructions. Excessive abrasion or harsh washing methods may reduce their effectiveness over time.

No, this jacket features a grown-on hood, meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be removed.

The DWR finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, preventing it from becoming saturated and helping to maintain the fabric's breathability and waterproof performance.

Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is intact. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying according to product instructions. Also, check that all seams are sealed and not damaged.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant if needed.

This could be due to exceeding the breathability limits during intense activity or insufficient ventilation. Ensure zippers are used appropriately for airflow and consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
