FAQs

What is Ared 20/30 technology?

Ared 20/30 is a proprietary fabric technology from Dare 2b that offers a high level of waterproofness (20,000mm) and breathability (30,000/m²/24hrs), utilizing recycled materials for its construction.

How do I pack the jacket into its hood?

Turn the jacket inside out, fold it into a compact shape, and then place it inside the hood, zipping the hood closed to secure it.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind and is lightweight. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than hiking?

Yes, its waterproof, windproof, and breathable features make it suitable for various outdoor activities such as trekking, camping, or even casual wear during wet or windy conditions.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Using a specialized fabric care product designed for outdoor gear will help maintain its performance.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that the stitching lines where fabric pieces are joined are covered with waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric

Ensure the DWR finish is still effective. If not, clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment. Check that all zips are fully closed and seams are intact.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Clean the jacket to remove dirt and oils that can block the membrane pores. Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow during activity.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax or specialized zipper lubricant.

Hood adjustment is not secure

Ensure the drawcords are properly threaded through the adjusters and that the adjusters themselves are functioning correctly. Retighten as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Machine washable on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
  • Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.

  • For best long-term performance, consider re-waterproofing the jacket periodically using a specialized product designed for technical outerwear.
