FAQs

What is Ared 20/30 technology?

Ared 20/30 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Dare 2b. The '20/30' refers to its performance rating: 20,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing and 30,000g/m²/24hr for breathability.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and a specialized waterproof repellent wash. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or line dry.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but it is lightweight and designed for active use. For cold weather, layering with a fleece or insulated mid-layer is recommended.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to pack away neatly into its own hood for compact storage and easy transport.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the technical wired hood features adjusters and a high collar to ensure a secure and protective fit against the elements.

What should I do if the water repellency seems reduced?

Wash the jacket with a specific technical wash that includes a re-waterproofer, or apply a separate DWR spray or wash-in treatment after cleaning, following product instructions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

Ensure the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is reactivated by washing with a specialized repellent wash and tumble drying on low heat. If DWR is completely worn, re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Underarm vents are not opening smoothly.

Check for any fabric snags or obstructions around the zip. Gently work the zip back and forth, and clean if necessary.

Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain.

This can be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure underarm vents are open during high exertion. The fabric's breathability might be reduced if it is heavily soiled; clean the jacket according to care instructions.

Pros and Cons
