Full details
The Dare 2b Switch Out Pro Fleece is designed for adult men who prioritize agility and warmth during high-intensity outdoor pursuits. Featuring advanced quick-dry thermal fabric and SeamSmart technology, this mid-layer offers a superior balance of mobility and thermal regulation. While it excels in versatile environments, users should note that as a lightweight performance piece, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a standalone heavy-duty jacket in extreme winter conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for winter use?
It is an excellent mid-layer for winter, but it is not a heavy-duty outer jacket. Pair it with a waterproof shell for full protection.
Does the fleece have a hood?
No, this version of the Switch Out Pro is a crew-neck style fleece without a hood.
How does the size fit?
The fit is designed for active movement, fitting close to the body without being restrictive. If you prefer a loose fit for layering, consider your standard size.
Can I iron this product?
It is recommended to avoid ironing, as high heat can damage the synthetic polyester fibres and technical coatings.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The side pockets are standard size, suitable for small to medium accessories, while the chest pocket is ideal for thinner, flat essentials.
What is SeamSmart construction?
It is a manufacturing technique used to reduce the number of seams and move them away from high-friction zones to improve comfort.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels slightly stiff after multiple washes
This is often caused by detergent build-up. Run an extra rinse cycle without adding more soap to clear the residue.
Odour control seems less effective over time
Ensure you are using a dedicated performance detergent that is designed to strip body oils and sweat from technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Switch Out Pro Fleece, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can interfere with the quick-dry and odour control properties.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, choose the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the synthetic fibres.
- Layering Compatibility: This fleece acts as an ideal mid-layer. It fits comfortably under a waterproof hard shell jacket or windbreaker for a full modular weather-protection system.
- Storage: Hang the garment on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the fabric and prevent stretching.
