FAQs
What is the ARED 15/15 fabric?
ARED 15/15 is Dare 2b's recycled polyester fabric that offers a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000/m2/24hrs, providing excellent protection from the elements while allowing moisture to escape.
How do I measure my child for the correct size?
Measure your child's chest, waist, and height. Refer to the Dare 2b size chart to find the appropriate size for the Freehand II Ski Jacket. Consider leaving a little room for layering.
Can I use fabric softener when washing the jacket?
It is not recommended to use fabric softeners as they can diminish the jacket's waterproof properties.
What kind of base layers should my child wear?
Choose moisture-wicking base layers made of materials like merino wool or synthetic fabrics. Avoid cotton as it retains moisture.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproof the jacket as needed, especially after washing. The frequency depends on how often the jacket is used and washed. Use a specialized spray-on re-proofer.
What is the purpose of taped seams?
Taped seams prevent water from penetrating the stitching, enhancing the jacket's waterproof performance.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable. However, follow the care instructions provided to maintain its performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not keeping the child warm.
Check if the child is wearing appropriate base layers. Ensure all zippers and closures are fastened to trap heat. If the problem persists, check the insulation for any damage.
Water is seeping through the jacket.
Check the taped seams for any damage. Ensure the jacket has been properly washed and re-waterproofed if necessary.
Zippers are difficult to close or stuck.
