Product Information

Full details

This Dare 2b Women's Torrek Shell Jacket in Pink, size 10, is designed for adult women seeking reliable all-weather protection during outdoor activities like hiking. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance suitable for warmer days or when facing variable mountain weather. A potential caveat is its focus on outdoor performance, which might mean it's less suited for casual everyday wear where extreme weather resistance isn't a priority. Key features include ARED 20/30 fabric, taped seams, water-repellent zips, underarm ventilation, and a wired peaked hood.

FAQs

What is ARED 20/30 fabric?

ARED 20/30 is a fabric technology developed by Dare 2b that offers a specific rating for waterproofing (20,000 hydrostatic head) and breathability (30,000 g/m²/24hr), providing robust protection against the elements while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colors, closing all zips and fastenings. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for windproof and waterproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer thermal base layers and a fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath.

Can I adjust the hood?

Yes, the hood features a wire peak and can be adjusted to provide optimal coverage and protection from wind and rain.

What are the pockets like?

The jacket has functional water-repellent zipped pockets designed to keep your essentials secure and dry.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that all the stitching lines on the jacket have been sealed with waterproof tape, preventing any water from leaking through the needle holes.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure underarm ventilation zips are open to allow for better airflow. Check that you are not overheating due to excessive layering for the current temperature.

Water seeping through zippers

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. While water-repellent, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some ingress. Consider using a waterproof spray on zippers if this is a persistent issue.

Jacket is not beading water effectively

The water-repellent finish may have worn off over time. Follow the care instructions for washing, and consider applying a specific fabric re-proofer suitable for technical outdoor wear after washing and drying.
