Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Ascending Jacket is designed for active women who prioritize warmth and mobility during outdoor hiking and trekking adventures. Its core benefit lies in the high-performance ILoft Ecofill padding, which provides significant insulation while maintaining a lightweight feel. While it is an excellent mid-layer or standalone outer piece in cool conditions, it is important to note that it is not fully waterproof, so an additional shell may be required in heavy rain.

FAQs
Is the Ascending Jacket waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. We recommend wearing a waterproof shell over it in heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket under a rain shell?
Yes, its low-profile, lightweight design makes it an excellent mid-layer to wear under a larger waterproof jacket.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood features stretch binding which creates a secure, snug fit without the need for manual drawcords.
What activity is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor recreation where insulation and mobility are prioritized.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff and redistribute the padding.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and gently clean any debris using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for immediate use right out of the packaging. When layering, it pairs effectively with a moisture-wicking base layer underneath and can be comfortably worn beneath a dedicated waterproof hard-shell jacket during inclement weather. To maintain the loft of the ILoft Ecofill insulation, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can damage the synthetic fibers and diminish the insulation's performance. It is recommended to air dry the jacket to ensure the padding remains evenly distributed, though a low-heat tumble dry may be used if the care label specifically permits it.
