This Dare 2b Waterproof Ultra-Light Jacket is designed for adult women who engage in high-intensity outdoor activities like climbing. Its key benefit is providing robust protection against unpredictable weather without adding unnecessary weight, ensuring comfort and mobility. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, it is engineered for active use, so casual wear might feel less suited. The jacket is constructed from high-performing ARED 15/15 fabric, offering a balance of waterproof, breathable, and durable qualities. Key features include a fully seam-sealed design, reflective details for enhanced visibility, UV 50+ shielding, a functional hood, and a comfortable, stretch-binding fit.

ARED 15/15 is a high-performance fabric used by Dare 2b that offers 15,000mm waterproof protection and 15,000g/m²/24h breathability, making it ideal for intense outdoor activities in wet conditions.
Wash the jacket in a 30°C machine wash with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. After washing, air dry or tumble dry on low. It's recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically with a specific waterproofing agent for outdoor gear.
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers and base layers.
A 'grown-on hood' is permanently attached to the jacket. A 'wired peak' means the edge of the hood brim has a flexible wire embedded within it, allowing you to shape it for better visibility and protection from rain or sun.
UV 50+ shielding indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing significant sun protection for your skin during outdoor activities.
While the jacket offers excellent protection, its design is optimized for active outdoor performance. It can be worn casually, but you might find its technical features and fit more suited to adventurous pursuits.
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for women's jackets. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare these measurements to the chart. Consider if you intend to wear thick layers underneath, which might necessitate sizing up.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor clothing. Ensure you follow the re-proofing product's instructions carefully.
Check if the inner lining is dirty or if vents are blocked. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to remove accumulated dirt and oils. Ensure any vents are clear and open.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) to help it glide smoothly.
Avoid harsh abrasion and high-heat drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to repair it with glue, as this may damage the fabric. Continue to use the jacket; for significant damage, consider if the functionality is compromised.
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear out of the package.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, this jacket is suitable for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, climbing, trail running, and trekking. It can be layered over base layers or mid-layers for added warmth.
