Dare2b Breathe Out Hiking Jacket - Orange - S

While the jacket provides excellent wind and water protection, it is a shell layer and offers minimal insulation. For winter hiking, it should be paired with appropriate thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers to provide sufficient warmth.

Regular washing with mild detergent and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment will help maintain the fabric's water repellency. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying, which can damage the membrane and coating.

ARED 20/30K refers to the technical specifications of the fabric. '20K' typically relates to the waterproofing level (measured in millimeters water column), and '30K' relates to the breathability level (measured in grams per square meter per 24 hours).

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn over other layers and is suitable for use with a backpack. The stretch fabric and ergonomic design help accommodate movement while wearing a pack.

Yes, the hood features a technical wired peak and is adjustable to provide a secure and personalized fit, helping to shield you from the elements.

The jacket is constructed from a lightweight 2.5-layer recycled stretch fabric, incorporating ARED 20/30K waterproof and breathable technology.

Ensure all seams are taped and zips are fully closed. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off; re-apply a suitable treatment following manufacturer instructions.

Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow. Ensure you are not overheating and consider removing an inner layer if necessary.

Clean the zips with water and a soft brush. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth.

Adjust the cuffs and hem. Ensure any base or mid-layers are not adding bulk that restricts movement under the jacket. The AEP KINEMATICS technology is designed for freedom, so major restriction may indicate an issue with layering or sizing.
