FAQs

What makes the ARED 35/35 fabric special?

ARED 35/35 is Dare 2b's proprietary fabric technology that offers a high level of waterproofness (35,000mm rating) and breathability (35,000g/m²/24hr rating), ensuring excellent protection from the elements while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers. You may need to add a warm fleece or insulated jacket underneath depending on the temperature.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Dare 2b sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider wearing the layers you typically would under the jacket when trying it on to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for movement.

Can I wear this jacket for everyday use?

Yes, while designed for demanding activities, its protective qualities and comfortable fit make it suitable for everyday use in wet or windy weather.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Please refer to the retailer or Dare 2b's official website for specific warranty information as it can vary.

Are the stretch panels durable?

The stretch panels are made with durable, abrasion-resistant fabric integrated to provide freedom of movement without compromising the jacket's overall resilience on rugged terrain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Check that ventilation zips (if present) are open. Consider a technical wash.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outer-layer apparel. It can be worn over base layers and mid-layers for added warmth, depending on the weather conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash or a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. Alternatively, hang to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, it is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
