FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the jacket is crafted from `Ared 10/10` waterproof and breathable fabric and features a water-repellent finish, designed to keep you dry in rainy conditions.
How warm is the Striking IV Jacket?
It's designed for winter comfort, featuring `recycled high warmth ILoft Ecofill` insulation and a `quilted recycled inner lining` to provide superior warmth without bulk.
Can I remove the hood?
The hood itself is fixed, but the `faux fur trim` on the hood is `removable`, offering versatility in style and making it easier to clean.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The main material for the jacket is `Polyester`, known for its durability and performance in outerwear. The faux fur trim is typically made from synthetic fibers.
How should I wash the jacket?
Always check the internal care label for precise instructions. Generally, the `removable faux fur trim` can be detached for washing. For the main jacket, gentle machine washing with a technical cleaner and line drying is often recommended to preserve its properties.
What does 'Ared 10/10' mean?
`Ared 10/10` refers to Dare 2b's advanced fabric technology, indicating a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs. This means it offers excellent protection against water penetration while allowing moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold or extreme winter conditions?
The jacket provides `superior warmth` with its ILoft Ecofill insulation, making it ideal for typical winter conditions, city strolls, and countryside walks. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure to very harsh winter environments, additional layering beneath the jacket is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem as warm as expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath the jacket for colder temperatures. While the ILoft Ecofill provides superior warmth, extreme cold may require additional base and mid-layers. Also, confirm the jacket is zipped fully to retain heat.
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric, rather than beading off.
The water-repellent finish (DWR) can wear off over time or with improper washing. Ensure you are washing according to the care label, avoiding fabric softeners. You may need to re-treat the jacket with a DWR-restoring product specifically designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or zipper wax) to the teeth to improve smoothness. Operate the zipper slowly and gently.
Faux fur trim appears matted or loses its fluffiness after washing.
Once dry, gently brush the faux fur with a soft brush or comb to restore its original loft and appearance. Avoid machine drying the faux fur on high heat.

For care, the jacket is designed for practical maintenance. The `removable faux fur trim` on the hood can be detached, allowing for easier separate washing if needed. For the main jacket, always refer to the garment's internal care label for specific instructions. Generally, to maintain the `waterproof` and `breathable` properties of such technical outerwear, it is recommended to:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
- Use a mild, non-detergent technical cleaner (avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents).
- Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry away from direct heat. Avoid ironing unless specified on the care label.
Proper care will help preserve the jacket's performance and longevity.
