Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Eagle IV Ski Jacket is a premium technical outer layer designed for male alpine enthusiasts who demand high-performance protection in harsh mountain conditions. By utilizing advanced ARED 35/35K stretch fabric, it offers an exceptional balance of waterproof security and breathability, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during long days on the slopes. While the jacket excels in extreme weather, users should note that its heavy-duty padding is specifically optimized for cold-weather mountain activities, which may be excessive for casual urban wear or mild climates.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the hood removable?

No, the Eagle IV features a grown-on (fixed) hood designed for maximum protection against wind and snow.

How should I wash the Eagle IV jacket?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical outer-wear detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Does this jacket have a snow skirt?

Yes, it is designed with essential ski features, including the necessary internal components to keep snow out during falls.

Is it suitable for rainy weather in the city?

While highly waterproof, it is heavily insulated, which may lead to overheating if worn in urban environments during warmer weather.

What does the 35/35K rating mean?

It refers to the jacket's waterproof rating (35,000mm of water pressure) and its breathability rating (35,000g of water vapor per square meter of fabric over 24 hours).

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.

Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof

This is often caused by trapped perspiration. Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers instead of cotton, which traps sweat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading waterproof and breathability ratings
  • Excellent heat retention for cold mountain environments
  • Durable construction with fully taped seams
  • Specialized storage for essential ski gear like goggles
  • Flexible material enhances movement on the slopes

Cons

  • The high level of insulation can be too warm for spring skiing
  • Bulkier than non-insulated shell jackets
  • Polyester material requires careful cleaning to maintain DWR properties

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your jacket, adhere to these care standards:

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized technical wash for waterproof garments to avoid stripping the DWR finish. Avoid biological detergents and fabric softeners.
  2. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the outer shell after heavy use, apply a spray-on DWR restorer while the garment is damp.
  3. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the padding.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket is designed to work as a standalone outer layer, but can accommodate a thin base layer or mid-layer underneath for extreme sub-zero conditions.
