This jacket is designed for adult males who engage in hiking and outdoor activities in variable weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing robust waterproof, breathable, and windproof protection while allowing for unrestricted movement. A potential consideration is its technical nature, which may require understanding its features for optimal use. The Dare 2b Switch Out III Jacket offers advanced weather protection with ARED 20/30 fabric, ergonomic design through AEP KINEMATICS technology, and durable construction for challenging terrains. Key features include a high waterproof rating, breathability, windproofing, stretch fabric, and a technical hood.

ARED 20/30 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '20' signifies 20,000mm (millimeters) for its hydrostatic head, indicating waterproofness. '30' signifies 30,000 gsm (grams per square meter per 24 hours) for breathability, indicating how much moisture vapor can escape.
Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or iron on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish.
Yes, the jacket is windproof and can be layered. For very cold conditions, wear appropriate insulating layers underneath to maintain warmth.
AEP KINEMATICS is an ergonomic design technology that focuses on providing unrestricted movement and enhanced comfort. It uses stretch fabrics and anatomical design to ensure the jacket moves with your body during active pursuits.
Yes, the technical hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it when not needed or in fair weather conditions.
The zips are designed to be water-repellent. Keep them clean from dirt and debris. If they become stiff, use a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
The wired peak helps to keep the hood shaped and away from your face, improving visibility and providing better protection from rain and wind without obstructing your view.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes with a clean tennis ball, or iron on a low, no-steam setting. If this doesn't help, a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product may be necessary.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the breathable membrane. Wash with a technical fabric cleaner. Also, check that the internal zipped pocket is not overloaded, which could obstruct airflow.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Ensure no debris is caught in the track. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Ensure the drawcords are clean and free of debris. Check that the cord locks are functioning correctly. If the cord lock mechanism appears damaged, it may need replacement.
