Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Eagle IV Ski Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult male skiers who demand warmth and weather protection in challenging mountain conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of ARED 35/35K waterproof stretch fabric and high-warmth padding, which keeps you dry and insulated during intense, full-day sessions. One potential caveat is that its heavy-duty construction and thermal padding may feel too warm for milder spring skiing conditions where lighter shell jackets might be preferred.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the ARED fabric construction is designed to be fully windproof to protect against mountain chills.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
You can, but you must use a technical laundry detergent suitable for waterproof, breathable fabrics and follow the care label instructions.
What does the 35/35K rating mean?
It refers to the fabric's ability to resist water pressure (35,000mm) and its high level of breathability, ensuring you stay dry from both outside moisture and internal sweat.
Does it have a snow skirt?
While the design focuses on comprehensive warmth, please check the specific model features; most ski-specific Dare 2b jackets include integrated snow-blocking features.
Is the hood adjustable?
The grown-on hood is designed for a secure fit, providing excellent coverage even in heavy wind.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside during high exertion
Ensure your layering system beneath the jacket consists of moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton, which traps perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the garment's internal care label. Use a technical wash designed for waterproof garments to prevent damage to the DWR finish. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. When the jacket is not in use, store it in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulder padding. Before heading out, ensure all pockets are zipped to prevent snow ingress during accidental falls.
