The Dare 2b Striking IV Jacket requires no complex setup; simply put it on and adjust the hood and cuffs as needed. It's compatible with standard layering systems; wear it over a base layer and mid-layer for colder conditions, or over lighter clothing for milder days.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your jacket:
- Always check the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear; avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or strong detergents as they can compromise the fabric's waterproofing and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. If tumble drying, add a few dryer balls to help fluff the insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Faux Fur Trim: Remove the faux fur trim before washing the main jacket. Hand wash the trim gently with mild soap and cold water, then air dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the faux fur.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, you can restore it using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear, following the product's instructions.
