FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for warmth and insulation; it is not classified as waterproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
What is ILoft Ecofill?
ILoft Ecofill is a high-performance synthetic insulation made from recycled plastic materials, designed to mimic the warmth of down while remaining effective in damp conditions.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softener.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it is suitable as an outer layer in dry, cool conditions, though it is not intended for heavy rain or snow.
Does it fit true to size?
The jacket is designed for a standard adult fit. If you plan to layer thick clothing underneath, some users prefer to size up.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears flat after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting with clean tennis balls to physically fluff and redistribute the internal fill.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clear any debris or fabric lint from the zipper track and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Ascending Jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the insulating properties of the synthetic fill.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-loft the insulation after washing.
- Compatibility: This jacket serves as an excellent mid-layer. It fits comfortably under most standard waterproof shell jackets for full weather protection.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape of the quilting and the integrity of the fill.
