Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Blindside 1/4 Zip Midlayer is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who need a reliable, insulating layer that combines warmth with freedom of movement. Crafted from high-quality recycled stretch fabric, it excels at retaining heat during cold-weather activities while remaining flexible enough for active use, though its thicker 300 g/m² weight may be too bulky for high-intensity aerobic pursuits in warmer temperatures.

FAQs

Is this fleece waterproof?

No, this is a thermal midlayer and is not designed to be waterproof. It is best paired with a shell jacket in wet conditions.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry this garment to prevent heat damage to the synthetic stretch fibers.

What does 300 g/m² mean?

This refers to the fabric weight per square meter, indicating a substantial, thick fleece that offers high warmth.

Is the fit true to size?

The Blindside is designed for a snug, athletic fit. If you prefer a looser feel for layering, consider the size guide carefully.

Is this suitable for summer hiking?

Due to its weight and warmth, it is better suited for autumn, winter, and spring conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling after heavy use

Pilling is common with fleece; use a fabric shaver gently to remove excess fibers without damaging the structural integrity.

Zip feeling stiff or catching

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean any dirt or debris from the zipper track with a soft brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation provided by the 300 g/m² fleece
  • High level of stretch ensures freedom of movement
  • Environmentally conscious choice made from recycled materials
  • Versatile design allows for easy layering under shell jackets

Cons

  • The 300 g/m² weight can feel bulky under tight-fitting outer shells
  • Material may be too warm for high-intensity sports in mild conditions
  • Limited to a quarter-zip design which offers less ventilation than full-zip alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions. Always wash in cool to lukewarm water (max 30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical properties of the stretch fabric and reduce breathability. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the fibers and prevent any potential shrinkage. In terms of compatibility, this garment works best when worn over a moisture-wicking synthetic base layer and under a technical hardshell or insulated jacket to lock in heat.
