FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and breathability. It provides wind resistance but should be covered by a waterproof shell in rain or snow.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the technical performance of the fibers.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
It is designed as a midlayer, but it can be worn directly against the skin if preferred, provided you are comfortable with the fit.
What is Thermal ILUS stretch?
It is a proprietary fabric technology from Dare 2b that combines high-loft warmth with a four-way stretch construction for active use.
Does it offer protection against wind?
The dense weave of the fabric provides significant wind resistance compared to standard fleece, making it suitable for brisk mountain conditions.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after high output
Ensure you are using a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to move perspiration away from the skin effectively.
Zipper sticks during use
Check for fabric caught in the track and ensure the teeth are clean of debris; a light rub with a pencil lead can act as a dry lubricant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of breathability for strenuous activity
- Excellent stretch for unrestricted mobility
- Built-in odour control for multi-day use
- Durable fabric resistant to mountain abrasion
Cons
- Not fully waterproof as a standalone layer
- Specific fit may require careful sizing
- Requires layering for extreme cold protection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your midlayer, ensure a proper fit that allows for base layers underneath without restricting blood flow or movement. Compatibility-wise, this piece serves as the ideal middle layer under a waterproof hardshell jacket or an insulated puffer. For care, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the stretch fabric and the efficacy of the odour control treatment. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce breathability. Always air dry when possible to prevent heat damage to the synthetic material.
