Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Eagle IV Ski Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for male skiers who demand warmth and weather protection in challenging alpine environments. Utilizing advanced ARED 35/35K stretch fabric, this jacket offers an exceptional balance of waterproof integrity and breathability, ensuring comfort during long days on the slopes. While it excels in heavy weather conditions, users should note that the high-warmth padding makes it best suited for cold mountain climates rather than mild spring skiing sessions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the grown-on hood is designed to be ergonomic and provides full coverage against the elements.

What does 35/35K stand for?

This refers to the fabric's technical rating: 35,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofness and 35,000g/m2/24hr for breathability.

Can I use this jacket for non-skiing activities?

While optimized for skiing, its windproof and waterproof nature makes it an excellent choice for winter hiking, mountaineering, or general cold-weather use.

How should I clean the jacket?

Wash in cool water using a specialized technical cleaner. Avoid bleach and softeners, and tumble dry on low to reactivate the water-repellent finish.

Does it have pit zips for ventilation?

The jacket focuses on high-warmth insulation; please check your specific MPN version for ventilation features as designs may vary.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a technical DWR re-proofer, then tumble dry on low heat.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Check your layering system; if your base layer is made of cotton, it will hold moisture. Switch to synthetic or merino wool base layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and breathability ratings
  • Excellent stretch for full range of motion
  • Highly insulated for extreme cold
  • Durable seam-taped construction
  • Purpose-built features like internal goggle storage

Cons

  • May be too warm for mild or sunny weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the high-performance DWR coating, avoid using standard fabric softeners, as they can break down the waterproof membrane. It is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a technical outerwear detergent. Always ensure all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners are closed before washing. To reactivate the DWR finish after cleaning, tumble dry on a low heat setting or follow the manufacturer's care label instructions. The jacket is designed to layer effectively over thermal base layers and mid-weight fleeces for optimal climate management.
