Dare2b Torrek II Jacket

Looking for a waterproof jacket that punches above its price tag? The Dare2b Torrek II might be just what you need for hill walks, wet commutes, or spontaneous outdoor escapes.

The Dare2b Torrek II Jacket delivers impressive value for hikers and skiers seeking reliable protection without the premium price tag. Built with ARED 30/30 waterproof and breathable stretch fabric, it offers a hydrostatic head of 30,000mm—more than enough for sustained wet conditions. Taped seams, a water-repellent finish, and a wired peaked hood provide full storm coverage, while the recycled polyester lining and ILoft Eco Air Fill insulation ensure warmth without bulk.

Fit is generous but true to size, ideal for layering on hill days. The baffled quilt design adds windproofing and compressibility, making it easy to pack. Functional features include zipped hand pockets, an inner stash pocket, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a snug seal.

The Torrek II is available in six sizes from S to XXXL, catering to a wide range of body types. Colour options include Dark Sea, Olive Green (pictured), Blue Indigo, Grey and Cinnamon/Black and others, offering a mix of classic and bold tones to suit different tastes. Whether you’re after understated utility or a splash of contrast, there’s a variant to match.

While breathability depends on your base layers, testers report solid moisture management during active use. It’s not a high-alpine technical shell, but for UK hillwalking, shoulder-season skiing, or general outdoor wear, the Torrek II punches well above its weight.
