It is Dare 2b's high-performance standard, meaning the fabric can withstand a 35,000mm water column and allows 35,000g of water vapor to escape per square meter over 24 hours.
While it provides excellent waterproof protection, it is an ultra-light shell and does not contain significant insulation, so you would need to layer appropriately for cold temperatures.
The hood features a rear adjustment point that allows you to tighten the fit around your head, ensuring it stays in place without obstructing your vision.
Yes, the material is designed for stretch and unrestricted movement to accommodate the natural motion of hiking and climbing.
Use a specialized technical cleaner, avoid fabric softeners, and follow the care label for specific temperature settings. Re-waterproofing may be needed periodically.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment followed by low-heat drying.
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. Even with high breathability, cotton base layers will trap sweat inside.
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, always follow the manufacturer's care instructions. It is recommended to wash the garment using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics; avoid using standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. To restore the water-repellent finish after washing, follow the label directions regarding heat activation (typically low-heat tumble drying). Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage. Store the jacket in a dry, cool place, preferably hung up rather than folded tightly for long periods to preserve the fabric integrity.
