Full details

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the ARED 35K/35K fabric?

The ARED 35K/35K fabric provides exceptional waterproofing (35,000mm water column) and high breathability (35,000gsm), ensuring you stay dry from both external rain and internal moisture during strenuous activity.

How does the AEP KINEMATICS technology benefit me?

AEP KINEMATICS technology, combined with articulated sleeves, is designed for ergonomic movement. It allows for unrestricted motion at critical points, making it easier to navigate challenging terrain and perform athletic movements without the jacket hindering you.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

While the jacket offers excellent windproofing and waterproofing, it is designed as an outer shell. For extreme cold, layering with appropriate insulating mid-layers and base layers is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical wash or liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. Always check the care label for specific instructions.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that every seam on the jacket has been sealed with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from penetrating through the stitch holes, offering a higher level of waterproofing.

Can I wear this jacket for casual use or only for intense activities?

While designed for high-performance activities, the jacket's technical features and durable construction also make it suitable for casual wear in wet or windy conditions. Its primary strength lies in demanding outdoor environments.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is crafted from recycled polyester stretch fabric, incorporating advanced ARED 35K/35K technology.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer beading water

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate it. If the issue persists, reapply a DWR treatment following product guidelines.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Once dry, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside

Ensure the internal zipped pocket is clear of obstructions and that the main zippers are open for ventilation when needed. The jacket's breathability can also be affected by high humidity; wash and re-proof if performance has degraded.

Seams appear to be letting in water

Ensure all seams are fully taped. If a small area of seam tape appears damaged, it may require professional repair. For minor issues, ensure the jacket is clean and dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Dare 2b Torrek III Jacket requires no initial setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer and is compatible with various base layers and mid-layers suitable for outdoor activities. It pairs well with hiking trousers and waterproof boots.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a small amount of technical wash or liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener, as these can damage the fabric's membrane and DWR coating.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a new DWR treatment (available from outdoor retailers) following the product's instructions.
  5. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing in damp conditions or plastic bags for extended periods.
