FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the Dare 2b Striking IV Jacket features Ared 10/10 waterproof fabric and a water-repellent finish, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in rainy conditions. For extremely prolonged downpours, regular reapplication of the DWR treatment is recommended to maintain optimal performance.

How warm is the ILoft Ecofill insulation?

ILoft Ecofill insulation is designed to provide superior warmth without significant bulk, making the jacket effective in cold winter temperatures. The quilted recycled inner lining also contributes to its thermal performance, ensuring comfort in chilly weather.

Can I machine wash the faux fur trim?

No, the faux fur trim should be removed before washing the main jacket. It should be hand washed gently with mild soap and cold water, then air dried flat to maintain its quality and texture.

What is a two-way zip and how does it work?

A two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from both the top and the bottom simultaneously. This feature is useful for ventilation, accessing pockets underneath, or improving comfort when sitting down without fully unzipping the jacket.

Is this jacket breathable?

Yes, the Ared 10/10 fabric is engineered to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor from your body to escape. This helps prevent you from feeling clammy or overheated during activity, maintaining comfort inside the jacket.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket is ideal for general winter wear, including city commutes, casual outings, dog walking, and moderate countryside walks where reliable warmth and weather protection are needed. It balances style with functionality for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm over time.

Ensure the jacket is clean and the insulation is not matted. If machine washing, tumble dry with dryer balls on low heat to help fluff the ILoft Ecofill insulation. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods during storage to maintain loft.

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-application. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable outerwear, following the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If clear, gently apply a zipper lubricant (like a silicone-based spray or zipper wax) to the teeth to improve smoothness. Ensure the two-way zipper is fully aligned at the bottom before zipping up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability (Ared 10/10) for comfort in wet conditions.
  • Superior warmth without excessive bulk due to ILoft Ecofill insulation.
  • Versatile style suitable for both city and countryside use.
  • Removable faux fur trim offers customization and simplifies care.
  • Eco-friendly insulation and inner lining from recycled materials.
  • Two-way zip enhances practicality for ventilation and movement.

Cons

  • Fixed hood, while adjustable, cannot be fully detached from the jacket.
  • Faux fur trim requires separate, delicate care during washing.
  • May not offer the extreme durability or features required for highly specialized alpine activities.
  • Lighter colors, such as Beige, may show dirt or stains more visibly.

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.
