FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the ARED 35/35 fabric is designed to be fully windproof as well as waterproof.

Can I wear this jacket for everyday winter use?

While intended for skiing, its technical performance and features make it an excellent choice for any cold-weather outdoor activity.

Does it have internal storage?

Yes, it includes ski-specific storage features designed to house goggles, passes, and media devices safely.

How often should I wash it?

Wash only when necessary, typically once or twice a season depending on how much you sweat, using a gentle technical cleaner.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is designed to be helmet-compatible and is usually fixed for better wind protection, but check the internal collar adjustment points.

What is AEP Kinematics?

It is Dare 2b's proprietary design technology that focuses on creating garments that move with the human body's natural points of articulation.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a technical DWR re-proofer to restore water beading.

Overheating during moderate activity

Open the underarm ventilation zips fully to allow excess moisture and heat to escape.

Hood feels loose or slides down

Utilize the integrated adjustment toggles to cinch the hood tighter around your helmet for a secure, custom fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and breathable rating
  • Ergonomic fit due to AEP Kinematics technology
  • Excellent heat retention for cold climates
  • Highly durable construction with taped seams

Cons

  • Padding may feel too warm in mild weather
  • Specific maintenance required for DWR finish
  • Performance features may be overkill for casual use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the ARED 35/35 fabric, wash the jacket using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish and compromise breathability. The jacket is compatible with standard mid-layers for layering systems and is designed to fit over most helmet styles. Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR spray if you notice water no longer beading on the surface. Ensure all zippers are closed before placing the item in the washing machine to prevent damage to the teeth.
