FAQs

What age group is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is designed for children and is available in various kids' sizes, including the 9-10 years option.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is waterproof and windproof, providing a good outer layer. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer additional warm clothing underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a similar colored detergent. Use a non-biological liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.

What does 'ARED stretch fabric' mean?

ARED is Dare 2b's proprietary fabric technology that is waterproof, breathable, and stretches to allow for greater freedom of movement.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are designed to withstand normal wear and washing according to the care instructions. Over time and with excessive abrasion, their reflectivity may diminish.

Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?

Yes, the jacket features a unisex design, making it suitable for children of any gender.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide and measure your child's chest and height. Consider that children grow quickly, and this jacket is designed with some room for layering.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment to restore water repellency.

Child feels damp inside after activity

Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Check that zippers and cuffs are fully secured to prevent wind ingress and moisture buildup. If activity levels are very high, consider if a more breathable specific garment is needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (e.g., beeswax or candle wax) to the zipper teeth and work the zipper back and forth to smooth its operation.
