Full details
The Dare 2b Torrek III Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require maximum protection in demanding weather conditions. Featuring industry-leading ARED 35K/35K fabric, this jacket offers an exceptional balance of extreme waterproofing and high-level breathability, ensuring you stay dry during intense activity. While it provides robust, abrasion-resistant protection, users should note that its technical fit and heavy-duty material are optimized for rugged environments rather than casual everyday urban wear.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it features ARED 35K/35K fabric with a 35,000mm water column rating, which is considered extreme performance level for severe weather.
What does AEP Kinematics mean?
It is Dare 2b’s proprietary technology that uses ergonomic design and articulation in the pattern to ensure the jacket moves with your body rather than against it.
Can I use this jacket for skiing?
While designed primarily for hiking and walking, the waterproof and windproof properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities, including casual skiing.
Does it have pit zips for ventilation?
The Torrek III relies on the high 35K breathability rating of the fabric itself rather than mechanical pit zips to regulate temperature.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket for superior weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during high exertion
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. Even with high breathability, internal condensation can occur if there is too much trapped sweat.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional 35,000mm waterproof rating
- Highly breathable for high-output activities
- Ergonomic articulation provides excellent freedom of movement
- Durable, abrasion-resistant polyester construction
- Completely windproof for harsh conditions
Cons
- Heavy-duty fabric may feel stiff compared to casual jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your jacket, ensure the hem and cuff adjusters are tightened when entering high-wind areas to seal the garment. The jacket is compatible with standard mid-layer fleece or insulated jackets.
Care Instructions:
- Close all zips and fasteners before washing to prevent damage.
- Wash on a cool setting using a technical detergent formulated for waterproof gear.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Line dry in the shade; you may tumble dry on a low heat setting occasionally to reactivate the water-repellent coating if recommended by the care label.
