Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Precision II Ski Jacket is designed for adult male skiers who require a balance of thermal insulation and technical weather protection on the slopes. Featuring Ared 10/10 waterproof and breathable fabric, it keeps you dry in snow and wind while maintaining airflow during high-intensity runs. While it excels in performance and organization with specialized pockets and a snow skirt, users should note that the high-warmth padding makes it more suitable for colder climates than for milder, sunny spring skiing conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?

Can I remove the snow skirt?
No, the snow skirt on the Precision II is a fixed design.
What is the best way to clean the goggle wipe cloth?
The cloth can be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water if it becomes dirty or oily, then air-dried.
Is the hood compatible with a ski helmet?
The hood is designed to be adjustable for a close fit, though coverage over a helmet may depend on the size and shape of your specific helmet.
Does this jacket have underarm vents?
This specific model focuses on internal breathability through the Ared 10/10 fabric; always check the specific product iteration for additional mechanical vents.
Is this suitable for non-skiing winter activities?
Yes, its waterproof and insulated properties make it an excellent choice for general winter use, such as hiking or walking in cold, wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and use a DWR spray-on or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Check your layering system. Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool; cotton base layers will absorb sweat and trap moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure all zippers are fully closed before washing. Wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for synthetic, waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry can help reactivate the water-repellent treatment, though air drying is often sufficient. Ensure the snow skirt is secured around your base layers to prevent wind updrafts. The jacket is designed to be layered; its fit is intended to accommodate a thermal base layer and a mid-layer fleece comfortably.
