FAQs
Is the Dare 2b Ascending Jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for insulation and warmth; while it handles light showers well, it is not considered a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear this as a mid-layer?
Yes, its lightweight design makes it an ideal mid-layer to wear under a hardshell or waterproof jacket in very cold or wet conditions.
What material is used for the insulation?
It uses ILoft Ecofill, which is a synthetic, recycled insulation designed to provide warmth without unnecessary weight.
Does the hood adjust?
The hood features a stretch binding, which provides a secure, natural fit without the need for manual drawstrings.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods to maintain the integrity of the insulation.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels flattened after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to redistribute and loft the synthetic fill.
Zip catching on internal fabric
Gently pull the fabric away while zipping and ensure the inner storm flap is lying flat before closing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, machine wash it on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the synthetic insulation. It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help fluff the insulation back to its original volume. Regarding compatibility, this jacket is designed with a standard fit that works well over base layers or light fleeces. Ensure you check the sizing guide for the XS fit to verify layering space for your specific needs.
