This women's hiking jacket from Dare 2b is designed for adult females seeking reliable waterproof and breathable protection for outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is its high-performance ARED 20/30 fabric, offering comfort and freedom of movement in changing weather conditions. A potential caveat is that while highly water-resistant, extreme prolonged downpours might eventually test its limits.

ARED 20/30 is a high-performance fabric developed by Dare 2b. It offers a balance of waterproofness (rated at 20,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (rated at 30,000/m²/24hrs), designed to keep you protected and comfortable in challenging weather conditions.
This jacket provides windproof protection and is designed to be layered. While it has high-performance insulation, for extreme cold, adding a warm mid-layer such as a fleece or down jacket underneath is recommended.
The hood is typically attached via a zip and possibly press studs around the collar. Locate the zipper at the base of the hood where it meets the jacket collar and carefully unzip it to detach. Ensure the zipper is fully unzipped before pulling the hood away.
Yes, the jacket features stretch construction and articulated design (AEP KINEMATICS) specifically engineered to provide unrestricted movement, making it ideal for climbing, hiking, and other dynamic outdoor activities.
Yes, the jacket is made with 75% recycled polyester and complies with PFAS standards, indicating a commitment to more sustainable and environmentally conscious manufacturing.
A 'wired peak' refers to a flexible wire or stiffener integrated into the brim of the hood. This allows you to shape the peak to better shield your face from rain and wind, improving visibility in adverse weather.
Ensure the jacket is clean and has been tumble dried to reactivate the DWR finish. If performance is still degraded, reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Gently lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid using wax-based products.
Check that the drawcords are properly threaded through the toggles. Ensure the toggles are tightened firmly. Inspect the drawcords for any damage.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions and consider re-proofing.
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the cuffs and hem for a secure fit and attaching or detaching the hood as needed. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, the jacket is compatible with various base layers and mid-layers for a customizable warmth system. It functions well with hiking backpacks and other outdoor gear.
Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:
