FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings.

Can this jacket be used for skiing?

It provides good insulation and water resistance for casual winter activities, but for high-intensity or professional-level skiing, you may prefer a more specialized technical shell.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

Yes, the jacket is designed with a hood to provide additional protection against wind and precipitation.

What is ARED 10/10 technology?

ARED 10/10 is a proprietary Dare 2b fabric technology that provides 10,000mm waterproofing and 10,000g/m2 breathability.

Are the materials recycled?

Yes, the jacket utilizes eco-conscious design principles, including recycled insulation and fabric components.

Is the jacket fully seam-sealed?

It features critically taped seams, which means the most important seams are sealed to prevent water entry, but it is not fully seam-sealed.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a water-repellent spray treatment to the exterior.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is clean of debris. If needed, rub a non-staining wax or pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate.

Jacket feels less warm than when new.

The padding may have compressed due to improper storage. Tumble dry on a very low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight yet highly insulating
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during movement
  • Eco-friendly recycled material construction
  • Effective defense against wind and light rain

Cons

  • Critically taped seams are less protective than fully seam-sealed garments
  • White colorway may require more frequent cleaning
  • Designed primarily for cold, not extreme wet-weather performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the technical performance of your Dare 2b Wander Padded Jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for synthetic or waterproof garments. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a cool, low-heat setting to avoid damaging the insulation.
  3. Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Apply a spray-on DWR treatment to the outer fabric to restore its water-shedding capabilities.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the loft of the padding and prevent creases in the fabric.
