FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Ultra-Light Jacket is designed for protection against wind and rain, not for heavy insulation. For winter conditions, it is best used as a protective outer shell over warmer insulating layers.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a mild liquid detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What does ARED 15/15K mean?

ARED 15/15K refers to the fabric's performance rating: 15,000mm water column for waterproofing and 15,000 gsm for breathability (grams of moisture vapor passing through a square meter in 24 hours).

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are designed to last under normal wear and tear. Following the care instructions will help preserve their reflectivity.

Can I wear this jacket in strong sunlight?

Yes, the jacket provides UV protection with a UPF rating of 50+, making it suitable for wear in sunny conditions as well as wet weather.

What is SEAMSMART technology?

SEAMSMART technology refers to the jacket's construction, including articulated sleeves, which are designed to provide enhanced freedom of movement and a better fit during physical activity.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric, typically after several washes or prolonged use. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofing treatment.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are fully taped and intact. Re-apply a DWR treatment if water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off. Check that the main zipper is fully closed and the storm flap is correctly positioned.

Reduced breathability (feeling clammy)

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and oils that can block pores. Wash according to care instructions with a technical wash. Check that the internal pocket is not obstructed.

Hood does not fit well

Adjust the technical wired peak and the adjuster at the back of the hood to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the hood is fully extended over your head.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Dare 2b Ultra-Light Jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the hood adjuster and hem drawcord are set to your preference for optimal fit and protection.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with a wide range of base layers and mid-layers for varying temperature conditions. It pairs well with hiking boots, running shoes, and cycling apparel.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not dry clean.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable spray or wash-in waterproofing product, following the manufacturer's instructions. This is typically recommended after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface.
