FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the ARED 35/35K fabric?

The ARED 35/35K fabric provides exceptional waterproofing (35,000mm water column) and breathability (35,000gsm) for superior protection and comfort in extreme weather conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for everyday wear?

While highly protective, this jacket is primarily engineered for demanding outdoor activities like mountain hiking. For casual everyday use, its advanced features might be more than necessary.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Re-proofing is recommended periodically.

Can I wear other layers under this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn over mid-layers or base layers for added insulation, allowing you to adapt to different temperatures.

What does 'AEP KINEMATICS' mean?

AEP KINEMATICS refers to body-mapping technology that ensures the garment moves with your body's natural biomechanics, enhancing freedom of movement and comfort.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams, which means every stitch is sealed to prevent water from penetrating.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please check your purchase documentation or the Dare2b website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or breathable

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure you are using the correct washing and drying methods as per the care instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Try washing and re-proofing as per the care instructions. Ensure ventilation options (e.g., pit zips if present on other models) are utilized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproof and breathability ratings for extreme conditions.
  • Excellent mobility and comfort due to AEP KINEMATICS and articulated sleeves.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged mountain environments.
  • Sustainable materials used in construction.
  • Comprehensive weather protection with taped seams and water-repellent zips.

Cons

  • May be overkill for light hiking or everyday use.
  • High technical specifications might not be necessary for all users.
  • Price point may reflect its advanced features, potentially being higher than basic jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear directly out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are closed before washing.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as a standalone outer layer but can be paired with mid-layers or base layers for added warmth depending on the temperature. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residues.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For enhanced water repellency, iron on a low heat setting with a towel between the iron and the fabric after drying.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, re-proof the jacket periodically using a water-repellent spray or wash-in product suitable for waterproof breathable fabrics.
