Product Information

Full details

This Dare 2b Explore III Jacket is designed for young adventurers needing reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is providing superior waterproof and breathable performance, ensuring comfort during outdoor activities. A minor caveat is that some features, like internal pockets and adjustable hems, are designed for older children (age 7+). The jacket is constructed from ARED stretch fabric with a high waterproof and breathability rating, durable water repellent finish, and fully taped seams, making it ideal for various weather conditions. It also includes reflective details for visibility and UV protection.

FAQs

What does ARED 35/35K mean?

ARED 35/35K refers to the fabric technology. The '35' indicates a hydrostatic head of 35,000 water column (high waterproofing) and the other '35' indicates a breathability rating of 35,000 gsm/24 hours (high breathability).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and water, making it a great outer layer. For very cold conditions, layering with warm mid-layers and base layers is recommended.

What age is the internal pocket suitable for?

The internal zipped security pocket is designed for children aged 7 years and above.

How do I maintain the waterproofness?

Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, as they can degrade the waterproof and breathable membranes. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically if water no longer beads on the surface.

Can this jacket be worn in the sun?

Yes, the jacket offers UV shielding with a UPF of 50+, providing excellent protection against harmful UV rays.

Are there other colours available?

This guide focuses on the Grey variant. Please check the product listing for other available colour options.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the fabric

Ensure the durable water repellent (DWR) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check that all seams are properly taped and that the fabric itself is not damaged.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This might indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the internal lining is clean and free of dirt or debris that could block pores. Check that the garment is not too tightly fitted, allowing for air circulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a little soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
