Product Information

Full details

This Dare 2b Expedition Stretch Midlayer in Orange is designed for active kids embarking on outdoor adventures. Its primary benefit is providing cozy warmth and sun protection, making it ideal for hiking and general outdoor play. A potential caveat is that while it offers warmth, it is a midlayer and may require additional outer protection in very cold or wet conditions. Key features include stretch fleece for comfort, a hood for extra coverage, UPF 50+ sun protection, and reflective details for visibility.

FAQs

What age group is this midlayer best suited for?

This midlayer is designed for kids, suitable for active play and outdoor adventures.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this is a stretch fleece midlayer designed for warmth and breathability. It is not waterproof but can be worn under a waterproof jacket for full protection.

How do I wash the Expedition Stretch Midlayer?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener.

What does UPF 50+ protection mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent sun protection for the skin.

Can this be used as a standalone jacket?

It can be used as a standalone jacket in mild weather. For colder or wet conditions, it is best used as a layer underneath a waterproof and windproof outer shell.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective zip pullers are designed for visibility. They should withstand normal washing and wear, but avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the reflective surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels less warm after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce warmth and breathability. Wash again with a mild detergent without softener.

Zipper is difficult to open or close.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Child feels cold during outdoor play.

This is a midlayer designed for moderate warmth. Consider adding a thicker base layer underneath or a more substantial outer layer for colder conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for children, this midlayer pairs well with base layers for added warmth and can be worn under a waterproof or windproof outer jacket for complete weather protection. It is suitable for year-round outdoor activities, adjusting layering as needed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle (typically 30°C or 40°C). Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fabric's wicking properties.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The material is generally wrinkle-resistant.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
