Dare 2b Torrek III Jacket - XXXL

ARED 35/35 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '35' for the water column indicates extreme waterproofness (35,000mm), and '35' for breathability indicates high moisture vapor transmission (35,000 gsm/24hr), meaning it's very effective at preventing water ingress while allowing sweat vapor to escape.

The DWR finish can typically be reactivated by tumble drying the clean garment on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes. This process uses gentle heat to realign the DWR polymers on the fabric's surface.

Yes, the jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold conditions, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down) to provide warmth.

Yes, the grown-on technical hood is adjustable with adjusters and features a wire peak to help keep it in shape and provide better protection from the elements.

This jacket is engineered for high-performance activities such as mountaineering, trekking, hiking, climbing, and other demanding outdoor pursuits where superior waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection is essential.

The jacket features water-repellent front and pocket zippers designed to prevent water from penetrating through the zipper openings.

Gently wipe off excess mud with a damp cloth before washing. Then, follow the machine washing instructions: 30°C, gentle cycle, liquid detergent, and double rinse. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If performance doesn't improve, re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash using liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Check internal pockets for debris that might be blocking ventilation.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick specifically designed for zippers. Avoid using oil-based lubricants.

Check that all seams are fully taped and intact. If a small section of tape is peeling, it may be possible to carefully re-adhere it with a specialized seam sealer. For significant damage, contact customer support.
