FAQs

What age group is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is designed for kids and is available in various children's sizes, such as 5-6 years up to 13 years.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features ARED waterproof fabric, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extremely prolonged or torrential downpours, additional layering or a more specialized garment might be considered.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild liquid detergent and technical wash. Avoid fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?

Re-apply the DWR finish when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket can be worn in cold weather by layering a warm fleece or sweater underneath. The polyester material provides a good base for insulation.

What does 'ARED stretch fabric' mean?

ARED is Dare 2b's own technology for waterproof and breathable fabrics. 'Stretch' indicates that the fabric has elasticity for improved comfort and freedom of movement.

Are there other colors available for this jacket?

This specific product listing is for the green color. Other color options may be available for the Dare 2b Kids' Explore III Jacket line.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore

Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt and residue. Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Check if the vents (if any) are open.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Lubricate the zipper with a wax-based product or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Child feels restricted during movement

Verify that the size is appropriate. Ensure no underlayers are too bulky. The jacket's stretch fabric should allow for good mobility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the jacket is the correct size for the child before use. Check that all zippers are functioning smoothly.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for general outdoor wear and is compatible with layering for added warmth in colder conditions. It can be worn over t-shirts, sweaters, or fleeces.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a specific technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and reduce performance.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure a thorough rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying can help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent finish (DWR) spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. This is crucial for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable capabilities.
