Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dare 2b Apex 3 Layer Jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zips are closed before engaging in activity.
Compatibility: The grown-on technical hood is engineered to be helmet compatible, making it suitable for activities such as skiing, climbing, or mountaineering where head protection is required. It is designed for adult male wearers.
Care: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a small amount of technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Do NOT use fabric softener or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of old towels. This helps reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: If the water repellency has diminished, apply a re-proofer suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics according to the product's instructions, usually after washing and drying.
