Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Eagle IV Ski Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult skiers who demand both warmth and mobility in challenging mountain conditions. Its primary strength lies in the ARED 35/35K stretch fabric, which delivers professional-grade waterproof protection and breathability, though it is specifically engineered for cold-weather alpine environments rather than casual city wear.

FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Dare 2b Eagle IV features a grown-on (integrated) hood.
Can I use this jacket for hiking?
Yes, its waterproof and breathable qualities make it suitable for winter hiking, though it is primarily optimized for skiing.
What does ARED 35/35K mean?
This refers to the fabric's performance: 35,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 35,000g/m2/24h for breathability.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash in lukewarm water with a technical detergent and air dry to maintain fabric integrity.
Does it have pockets for my ski pass?
While it features multiple internal and external pockets, it is recommended to store your pass in a secure zip pocket.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
This is often caused by condensation buildup; ensure your layering system uses synthetic or wool moisture-wicking fabrics rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b jacket, always follow the care label instructions located inside the garment. Use technical fabric detergents rather than standard biological soaps to preserve the DWR coating. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores of the breathable membrane. If the jacket loses its water-beading performance over time, re-apply a DWR spray treatment after washing. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and insulation loft.
