Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Ascending Jacket is designed for adult women who prioritize warmth and sustainability during outdoor walking and hiking activities. It provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to its innovative ILoft Ecofill padding, making it an ideal mid-layer or outer shell for chilly weather, though its polyester construction is best suited for dry or light-precipitation conditions rather than heavy rainfall.

FAQs
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for warmth and is not classified as waterproof. It is best used for dry, cold conditions or as an insulating layer under a raincoat.
What is ILoft Ecofill?
ILoft Ecofill is Dare 2b's sustainable, high-warmth insulation technology made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the loft of the padding.
Can I wear this while hiking?
Yes, its lightweight design and stretch features make it well-suited for hiking in cold weather.
What size is the XL?
The XL size is designed to fit a standard women's adult sizing profile, offering a balance between a feminine fit and enough room for layering.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears clumped after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the padding.
Zipper is catching on fabric
Ensure the internal storm flap is laying flat before pulling the zipper; clean any debris from the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket lasts, follow these care guidelines. Always consult the internal care label before washing; generally, use a mild detergent on a gentle cycle at a low temperature. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the polyester fibers and the insulating properties of the padding. When drying, air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fill, though a low-heat tumble dry may be used if specified on the garment label. For compatibility, the slim-but-comfortable profile of the XL size allows it to be worn comfortably over base layers or thin fleece sweaters without restricting movement.
