Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Ultra-Light Hooded Walking Waterproof Jacket is designed for active adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, lightweight outer layer for unpredictable weather. Featuring high-performance ARED 15/15 fabric, this jacket offers excellent waterproof and breathable protection, ensuring you stay dry during intense treks or sudden downpours. While it excels in portability and protection, users should note that as an ultra-light garment, it is optimized for packability rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation for extreme alpine conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

This is an outer shell and does not contain insulation. It is designed to be worn over layers to provide protection from wind and rain.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, the jacket is designed with functional pockets for essentials, keeping the silhouette sleek while maintaining utility.

How do I adjust the hood?

There is a dedicated back adjuster on the hood. Simply pull the toggle to tighten the fit around your head, and use the wired peak to shape it for visibility.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a specialized cleaner for waterproof garments to preserve the membrane.

Does the jacket offer protection against high winds?

Yes, the ARED 15/15 material is inherently windproof, providing an excellent barrier against cold gusts.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish may be wearing off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-beading effect.

Condensation buildup inside the jacket

Ensure you are using the back vent and adjusting your layering. While breathable, the jacket works best when your base layer is moisture-wicking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of waterproof performance and breathability
  • Lightweight and highly packable for long treks
  • Enhanced visibility with integrated reflective details
  • Technical hood design prevents obstruction while maintaining coverage

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme winter cold as it lacks insulation
  • May require layering underneath in colder climates
  • Material feel is tailored for weight reduction over heavy-duty thickness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your jacket, always ensure the front zipper is fully closed and the back adjuster on the hood is pulled taut before heading into inclement weather. For layering, the jacket is cut to allow for a base layer or a lightweight fleece underneath.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash at a low temperature using technical gear detergent.
  2. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  3. Line dry naturally; if the water repellency fades over time, tumble dry on a low setting or iron on cool to reactivate the DWR treatment.
  4. Regularly inspect seams after particularly abrasive hikes to ensure the taped seals remain intact.
