FAQs

What is ARED 20/30 fabric?

ARED 20/30 is Dare2b's proprietary fabric technology that offers a specific level of waterproofness (20,000mm) and breathability (30,000/m²/24hrs). It's designed to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside during active pursuits.

Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?

While windproof and waterproof, this jacket is lightweight and designed for breathability. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warm insulating mid-layers.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. After washing, ensure it's clean and then tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically reapply a DWR finish to maintain performance.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is grown-on and features a technical wired peak, allowing you to adjust it for optimal protection against wind and rain.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with waterproof tape. This prevents water from seeping through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable hem, allowing you to cinch it for a snugger fit and to help prevent wind from entering.

What is the benefit of the underarm ventilation zips?

These zips allow you to quickly release excess heat and moisture during strenuous activity, helping to regulate your body temperature and maintain comfort without having to remove the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.

Zips feel stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zips with a soft brush and water. Ensure there is no dirt or debris caught in the teeth. A silicone-based lubricant can also be applied sparingly to the zip track.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Ensure the underarm ventilation zips are open if you are exerting yourself. Check that the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath, which can impede breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, as residues can affect performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for active use.
  • Lightweight and stretchy material enhances comfort and freedom of movement.
  • Made from recycled materials, offering an eco-friendly option.
  • Thoughtful design features like a wired hood and underarm vents improve functionality.
  • Keeps you dry and protected from windchill.

Cons

  • May not be sufficiently warm for very cold, stationary activities.
  • Primarily designed for active use, less suited for casual, everyday warmth.
  • The 'Almond Milk' color might require more frequent cleaning than darker options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, this jacket is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. It can be layered over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  4. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to the product's instructions, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface.
