Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Torrek Breathe Easy Jacket is an ideal choice for active outdoor enthusiasts, including hikers and climbers, who require high-performance protection without sacrificing mobility. Built with advanced 2.5-layer ARED 20/30 fabric, it offers exceptional waterproof and breathable capabilities that keep you dry in heavy rain while preventing overheating during strenuous activity. The primary caveat is that, as a high-performance shell, it is designed for layering and does not provide significant inherent insulation for extreme cold without additional mid-layers.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the Torrek Breathe Easy Jacket features a windproof construction to help block out the chill.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it, but it is highly recommended to use a specialized technical outdoor fabric cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent.

What does 2.5-layer construction mean?

It means the jacket has an outer shell, a waterproof membrane, and a protective print or layer on the inside, making it lightweight and packable compared to traditional 3-layer shells.

Does the hood adjust?

The jacket features a grown-on technical hood with a wired peak, designed to offer stable protection and coverage.

Is this suitable for winter climbing?

It is an excellent outer shell, but you will need to pair it with thermal mid-layers as it is designed for breathability and protection rather than heavy insulation.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR coating has likely worn off; clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow and ensure your mid-layers are moisture-wicking and not cotton-based.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability rating for high-exertion activities
  • Ergonomic fit allows for a full range of motion
  • Lightweight and packable construction
  • Highly effective weatherproofing against wind and rain

Cons

  • Minimal insulation requiring layering in cold temperatures
  • Technical fabric requires specific care to maintain performance
  • Focused performance fit may feel snug for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the jacket's waterproof finish, avoid using standard detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Instead, use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof membranes. When washing, ensure all zips are closed, and tumble dry on a low setting if the care label permits, as the heat helps reactivate the water-repellent finish. The jacket is designed to be worn over base layers or thin mid-layers; check the fit while wearing your intended layering system to ensure you have sufficient room for movement.
