The Dare 2b Switch Out III Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection and freedom of movement during changeable weather conditions on mixed mountain terrain. Its key benefit is the ARED 20/30 waterproof and breathable fabric combined with AEP KINEMATICS technology for unrestricted agility. A potential caveat is that while highly waterproof, continuous submersion is not advised for extreme conditions.

ARED 20/30 refers to the technical rating of the fabric. '20' indicates 20,000mm of water column, meaning it can withstand the pressure of a 20-meter column of water before leaking. '30' indicates 30,000 gsm/24hr breathability, meaning 30,000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through a square meter of the fabric in 24 hours.
After washing and drying, you can reapply a DWR treatment by using a spray-on or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
This jacket provides excellent waterproofing and windproofing, making it ideal for protection against the elements. For extreme cold, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers. The base jacket itself is not heavily insulated.
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
AEP KINEMATICS is an ergonomic design technology that focuses on articulated joints and stretch fabrics to provide unrestricted movement and enhanced comfort for the body in motion.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric can wear off over time. You can restore its water repellency by washing the jacket according to the care instructions and then applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.
Yes, the detachable technical hood features a wired peak, which allows you to shape it for better visibility and protection from rain.
Ensure all seams are fully taped and zips are correctly closed. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Follow care instructions to re-activate or re-apply DWR.
This indicates high moisture vapor buildup. Ensure the garment is not too tightly layered underneath. Open pit zips if applicable (though not a feature of this specific model), or unzip the main jacket slightly to improve ventilation. Check if the fabric's breathability is compromised by dirt and wash according to care instructions.
Gently pull the drawcords and adjusters. Ensure they are not tangled. Refer to the specific adjustment points on the hood for optimal fit.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap or a specific zipper lubricant if necessary.
Setup:
This jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use. Adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for optimal fit and protection.
Compatibility:
The jacket is designed for adult males and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, and general outdoor exploration. It can be layered over mid-layers for added warmth.
