Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Wander Padded Jacket is designed for adult women who prioritize reliable weather protection and comfort during outdoor pursuits. Featuring recycled ARED 15/15 fabric, this jacket offers excellent breathability and water resistance, making it ideal for hiking or general everyday use in changeable weather. While the high-warmth padding ensures you stay cozy in low temperatures, users should note that its bulkier insulation profile may feel restrictive if layered under a secondary heavy shell.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the padding made from recycled materials?

Yes, the jacket features high-warmth recycled padding as part of its sustainable construction.

Does this jacket have sealed seams?

Yes, it features reinforced sealed seams specifically at the hood and shoulders to prevent water entry.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The ARED 15/15 fabric is highly water-resistant and breathable, making it suitable for most outdoor conditions, though it is not marketed as fully submersible gear.

What does PFAS compliant mean?

It means the manufacturing process complies with strict chemical standards that limit the use of harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

Can I adjust the hood?

The jacket includes an integrated hood designed for a secure fit to protect against wind and rain.

Is the zip a single or two-way zip?

It features a two-way zip, which allows you to open the jacket from both the top and the bottom.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less water-resistant than before

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleanser and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Insulation feels flat or lumpy

The padding may have settled. Gently shake the garment and ensure it is stored hanging up rather than folded tightly.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Check the track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a light touch of silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent performance of your jacket, adhere to the following care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear.
  2. Avoid Softeners: Never use fabric softeners, as they can strip away the breathability and waterproof coatings of the ARED fabric.
  3. Drying: Line dry is preferred to maintain the structure of the padding. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Re-treating: Over time, you may need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
  5. Storage: Hang the jacket in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid storing it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to ensure the insulation retains its loft.
