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:
- 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.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- 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.
- 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.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing in damp conditions or plastic bags for extended periods.
