Dare 2b Waterproof Switch Up III Jacket - Almond Milk

ARED 20/30 refers to Dare 2b's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20' typically signifies 20,000mm of hydrostatic head (waterproofness), and '30' signifies 30,000/m²/24hrs breathability, indicating high performance in keeping you dry from the outside and managing internal moisture.

The jacket itself is not heavily insulated. It is designed as a shell layer, meaning it relies on layering underneath for warmth. This allows for adaptability to a wide range of temperatures.

Yes, but it is recommended to layer appropriately. Combine the jacket with a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, to provide sufficient warmth for cold winter conditions.

The hood is adjustable via drawcords located at the back and sides. The wired peak can also be shaped for improved visibility and protection from rain and wind.

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase receipt or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.

This model does not explicitly mention pit zips in its description. However, the breathable ARED 20/30 fabric and the front zipper allow for ventilation.

It means the water-repellent finishes used on the fabric do not contain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), which are being phased out due to environmental concerns. This indicates a more environmentally responsible product.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the re-proofing instructions in the 'Care Instructions' section.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and residues which can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check that any internal vents or zippers are open if designed to do so.

Gently clean the zippers with a damp cloth and allow them to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

This indicates a potential failure of the waterproofing. Contact customer support for assessment or repair options. Avoid further use in wet conditions until resolved.
