FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the Dare 2b Striking IV Jacket is crafted from our advanced Ared 10/10 fabric, which is both waterproof (10,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathable. It also features an additional water-repellent finish for enhanced protection against moisture.

Can I remove the faux fur trim?

Absolutely. The fixed adjustable hood features a removable faux fur trim, allowing you to customize your look and making it easier to wash the jacket without damaging the fur.

How should I clean this jacket?

We recommend machine washing the jacket at a low temperature, following the care instructions on the internal label. Remember to remove the faux fur trim before washing. Use a technical detergent designed for outdoor waterproof fabrics to maintain its performance.

Is this jacket suitable for skiing or snowboarding?

While the jacket offers excellent warmth and waterproofing, it is primarily designed for everyday winter wear, city strolls, and countryside walks. For high-intensity snow sports, you might prefer a jacket specifically engineered with features like powder skirts, lift pass pockets, and greater articulation for athletic movement.

What kind of insulation does it use?

The jacket uses ILoft Ecofill, which is a recycled high-warmth insulation. This padding provides superior warmth without adding bulk, ensuring you stay comfortable and stylish in cold weather.

Does it have pockets?

Info needed: [Specifics about pocket types and locations]

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is primarily made from Polyester, with the advanced Ared 10/10 fabric technology for its waterproof and breathable properties. The insulation is ILoft Ecofill, and the trim is made of Faux Fur.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less waterproof over time.

Ensure the jacket is cleaned regularly using a technical fabric wash. The water-repellent finish can degrade with dirt and repeated washing. Reapplying a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment after cleaning can restore its water-shedding properties.

Faux fur trim appears matted or loses softness after washing.

Always remove the faux fur trim before washing the main jacket. If the trim requires cleaning, hand wash it gently in cool water with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry. Once dry, you can gently brush it with a soft brush to restore its fluffiness.

Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in very cold conditions.

While the ILoft Ecofill provides significant warmth, ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. Wear thermal base layers and a warm mid-layer (e.g., fleece) to trap additional heat. The jacket is designed for comfort in typical winter conditions, but extreme cold may require strategic layering.

  • Stylish padded design suitable for both city and countryside.
  • Adjustable hood with versatile removable faux fur.

The Dare 2b Striking IV Jacket requires no specific 'setup' beyond selecting the correct size. It is compatible with standard winter layering systems; wear it over base layers and mid-layers for enhanced warmth in colder conditions. For optimal care, it's recommended to machine wash the jacket according to the instructions on the inner label, typically at a low temperature with a technical fabric wash to maintain its waterproof and breathable properties. Crucially, the faux fur trim should be removed before washing the jacket to prevent damage and maintain its appearance. The trim itself can usually be hand-washed gently or spot cleaned. Allow the jacket to air dry completely, away from direct heat. Regular cleaning helps maintain the jacket's water-repellent finish and breathability over time.
