FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for back-country skiing?
Yes, its high breathability and articulated movement features make it highly functional for touring, provided you account for the additional weight of the padding.
Can I remove the snowskirt?
No, the snowskirt on the Baseplate IV is a fixed design for maximum protection.
Does it come with a warranty?
Dare 2b products typically carry a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check your purchase documentation for specific terms.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Is the hood large enough for a climbing helmet?
It is specifically engineered to be helmet-compatible, fitting most standard ski and snowsports helmets.
Are the seams taped?
Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to ensure complete waterproof integrity at every connection point.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may be worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a recommended DWR re-proofing spray.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
This is often caused by condensation from layering too heavily underneath. Adjust your base layers to better match the day's activity level.
Stiff or sticky ventilation zips
Clean the tracks with a soft brush to remove dried salt or dirt buildup. A dry silicone-based zipper lubricant may be used sparingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Baseplate IV jacket, avoid using traditional fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof membrane of its effectiveness. Always wash the garment in cold water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. For setup, adjust the hood toggle to fit your helmet securely before heading onto the slopes, and ensure the snowskirt is properly snapped to avoid unwanted drafts. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish begins to lose effectiveness, apply a spray-on treatment to the outer fabric to restore bead-off properties.
