Dare2b Breathe Out Hiking Jacket - XXL

ARED 20/30K refers to the jacket's performance rating. '20K' indicates a water column of 20,000mm (high waterproofing), and '30K' indicates a breathability rating of 30,000gsm/24hrs (high breathability), meaning it can withstand significant water pressure and allows a large amount of water vapor to escape.

The jacket itself is windproof and waterproof but not heavily insulated. It is designed to be layered. For cold weather, you should wear a warm insulating layer underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The 'XXL' size is specified for this particular jacket, but always check against your own body measurements.

Open underarm ventilation zips and consider removing any excessive mid-layers. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.

Ensure the hood is fully extended. Use the drawcords and toggles to adjust the fit, making sure the wire peak is positioned comfortably.
