Dare2b Ski Jacket Blindside - Black - Size 10

Ared 15/30 refers to the fabric's performance ratings. '15' indicates 15,000mm of waterproof resistance, and '30' indicates 30,000g/m²/24hr of breathability.

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood with a wired peak, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

Avoid using fabric softeners and biological detergents during washing, as these can degrade the DWR finish. A low-heat tumble dry after washing can help reactivate the DWR. You may need to reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment periodically.

Yes, the jacket features a padded design and integrated snowskirt for warmth and protection. Layering with appropriate base and mid-layers is recommended for extreme cold.

PFC-free treatments mean the jacket's water repellency is achieved without using harmful chemicals like PFOA and PFOS, making it better for the environment and human health.

The product description does not specify pit zips. Ventilation relies primarily on the breathability of the Ared 15/30 fabric.

Ensure all seams are intact and that the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still active. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment if necessary, following product instructions. Check that the main zipper is fully closed.

Adjust the elasticated hem and ensure the snowskirt is pulled down completely. Check for any obstructions or damage to the snowskirt material or its attachment.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush to remove any debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
