Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Shredder II Ski Jacket is a high-performance winter garment designed for active children who need reliable protection during cold-weather sports. Featuring professional-grade ARED 35/35K waterproof and breathable fabric, it keeps young skiers dry and comfortable, though the integrated snowskirt and thick insulation make it best suited for active mountain use rather than casual school wear.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for everyday school use?
While it can be used for school, it is highly technical and contains ski-specific features like a fixed snowskirt that may be bulkier than standard winter jackets.
What does 35/35K mean?
It refers to the jacket's waterproof rating (35,000mm) and its breathability rating, indicating it is extremely resistant to water while still allowing perspiration to escape.
Does the hood detach?
The Shredder II features a foldaway hood design, meaning it is fixed to the jacket but can be rolled and secured when not needed.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, but use a technical cleaner and avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners to protect the waterproof membrane.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the jacket utilizes recycled padding for insulation, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing; tumble dry on low heat or apply a re-proofing spray.
Child feeling too warm during light activity
Unzip the front partially to vent excess heat, or layer with thinner base layers instead of thick sweaters.
Difficulty closing the front zipper
Check that the internal draft flap or clothing is not caught in the teeth of the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its technical integrity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments.
- Drying: Air dry naturally or tumble dry on a very low, cool setting to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Avoid Softeners: Never use fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane and destroy breathability.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
