Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Air Lite Hooded Quilted Jacket is an ideal choice for active women who need lightweight, reliable warmth during hiking, summit pushes, or general outdoor activities in unpredictable weather. Utilizing ILOFT AIR insulation, this jacket provides significant thermal regulation without the bulk, allowing for easy packing and movement. While it offers excellent windproofing and water repellency for light showers, it is designed primarily as an insulating layer rather than a heavy-duty waterproof storm jacket, meaning you may need an additional shell in extreme downpours.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light rain, but it is not waterproof and should not be worn as a primary rain jacket in heavy storms.

Can this be used for winter sports like skiing?

It can be used as an effective mid-layer under a ski shell, but it lacks the specialized pockets or snow-specific features like powder skirts required for standalone ski wear.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features integrated adjusters that can be tightened to ensure a secure, close-fitting seal around the head and face.

What is the material weight?

The jacket utilizes 120 gsm ILOFT AIR insulation, which is specifically engineered to provide warmth while remaining lightweight.

Does it have a specific gender fit?

Yes, this version is specifically tailored for a female fit, offering a comfortable silhouette designed for active movement.

Can I store the jacket in its own pocket?

While it is highly packable, it does not have a dedicated 'pack-away' pocket; however, its compressible nature makes it easy to stow in any standard backpack.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the outer fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore performance.

Insulation feels flat or lumpy after washing.

Ensure the jacket is dried on low heat with tennis balls to redistribute the ILOFT fibers evenly throughout the baffles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack for travel
  • Provides high warmth-to-weight ratio with 120 gsm insulation
  • Durable water repellent (DWR) finish sheds light rain
  • Wired peaked hood provides excellent visibility and coverage
  • High-quality abrasion-resistant fabric increases garment lifespan

Cons

  • Not intended for sustained heavy rainfall or extreme wet weather
  • Lacks bulky insulation required for sub-zero alpine conditions
  • Slimmer fit may limit layering options over thick sweaters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the ILOFT insulation and the DWR coating, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for insulated gear to prevent clumping of the padding.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation.
  3. DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, re-apply a DWR spray treatment to maintain wind and water resistance.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to maintain the loft of the padding.
