Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Excursion Gilet is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable core warmth during transitional weather conditions, from chilly morning hikes to relaxed evenings at the campsite. Featuring a soft yet breathable borg fleece construction, this gilet offers a comfortable, close-fitting silhouette without restricting movement. While it provides excellent insulation and UPF 50+ sun protection, users should note that the polyester material is primarily intended for layering rather than providing heavy-duty wind or rain protection on its own.

FAQs
Is the Excursion Gilet waterproof?
No, it is designed for warmth and breathability rather than water resistance. It should be paired with a waterproof jacket if rain is expected.
Can I wear this during summer?
While warm, the gilet offers UPF 50+ protection, making it useful for sun-exposed hiking, though it may be too warm for peak summer temperatures.
How should I store the gilet?
Store it hanging in a dry, cool area to prevent crushing the fleece fibers. Avoid storing it compressed under heavy items.
Does the fabric stretch?
The gilet features stretch binding at the edges to ensure a snug fit, but the main body fabric has a standard fleece structure.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a cool, gentle cycle and avoiding bleach or heavy softeners.
What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing effective skin protection during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feeling matted or flat after washing
Gently shake the garment while damp and allow it to air dry fully. Using a soft-bristle garment brush once dry can help fluff up the borg fibers.
Zipper sticking or not moving smoothly
Ensure no fabric fibers are caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a pencil lead or zipper lubricant along the tracks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your gilet, always check the internal care label. Due to the borg fleece material, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can degrade the breathability and performance of the synthetic fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the loft and softness of the fleece; avoid high-heat tumble drying. Regarding compatibility, this gilet pairs seamlessly with technical base layers or thin long-sleeve shirts. If you are heading into harsher weather, its low-profile cut allows it to be worn comfortably underneath a standard hardshell or rain jacket without creating uncomfortable bulk at the shoulders.
