Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Piste Ski Jacket is a high-performance winter garment designed for active children who need reliable protection against harsh mountain conditions. Featuring advanced ARED 15/15 waterproof and breathable fabric, it keeps young skiers dry and warm during long days on the slopes; however, parents should note that while highly insulated, it is primarily optimized for cold-weather alpine activities rather than mild-weather everyday wear.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for everyday school use?

Yes, but it is heavily insulated, so it may be too warm for mild autumn or spring days.

How do I know if the size is correct?

This model is sized for children 7-8 years old. The elasticated features provide some flexibility in fit.

Does it have pockets for a ski pass?

Yes, the jacket is designed with standard ski features including pockets for essentials.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is designed with an elasticated fit for a secure, snug profile and is fixed to the jacket.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

It is recommended to air dry to protect the waterproof technical membrane and insulation padding.

What is ARED 15/15?

It is a performance rating indicating the fabric is waterproof up to 15,000mm and breathable up to 15,000g/m2/24hrs.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the surface fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a technical garment wash-in or spray-on re-proofer.

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure the child is not overdressed in heavy cotton base layers, which trap sweat; use moisture-wicking synthetic base layers instead.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof and breathability rating
  • Excellent thermal insulation for freezing conditions
  • Durable polyester construction
  • Specifically designed with features for skiing
  • Taped seams increase long-term durability

Cons

  • Heavier feel due to high insulation levels
  • Best suited for alpine environments rather than mild climates
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain waterproof coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the ARED 15/15 fabric and the water repellent finish, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  3. Re-proofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the outer barrier.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the shape of the padding.
