Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Torrek Breathe Easy Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable all-weather protection during outdoor activities like hiking. Its key benefit is the combination of ARED 20/30 fabric providing waterproofing and breathability, with windproof technology to keep you comfortable. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, it's primarily designed for active use and may require layering for extreme cold. Key features include a fully taped, waterproof construction, underarm ventilation zips, and a wired peaked hood.

FAQs

What is ARED 20/30 fabric?

ARED 20/30 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology used by Dare 2b. '20/30' typically refers to its hydrostatic head (waterproofness) in mm and its breathability in g/m²/24hrs, indicating high performance in both aspects.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for all-weather protection, including wind and rain. Its lightweight nature means it's best paired with insulating layers underneath for very cold conditions.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a wired peak and an adjustable drawcord. You can adjust the fit around the face using the toggles on the drawcord to ensure it stays in place and keeps rain out.

Can I use this jacket for intense sports like running?

Yes, the jacket's breathable fabric and underarm ventilation zips make it suitable for high-intensity activities where managing heat and moisture is important.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

After washing, you can reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat. For enhanced protection, consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear.

What does 'Breathe Easy' refer to?

'Breathe Easy' highlights the jacket's enhanced breathability, designed to keep you comfortable by allowing moisture vapor to escape, preventing a clammy feeling during activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. After washing according to care instructions, re-apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment and tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zips are clean and free from dirt or debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a wax-based product along the zip teeth. Avoid forcing the zips.

Reduced breathability

The fabric pores may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Ensure you are washing the jacket with a performance-specific cleaner or mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Check and clean underarm ventilation zips.
