FAQs

What is the main benefit of the zigzag-textured fabric?

The zigzag texture adds an extra layer of softness and cosiness, enhancing the overall comfort of the fleece.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Dare 2b Kids' Switch Out Midlayer is made of fleece and is designed for warmth and breathability. It is not waterproof and would require a waterproof outer shell for protection against rain.

How should I clean the reflective zip pullers?

Avoid direct ironing on the reflective parts and use a low heat setting if tumble drying. Gentle machine washing and air drying are best to preserve the reflective quality.

Can this midlayer be worn by boys and girls?

Yes, the midlayer is designed as unisex, making it suitable for both boys and girls.

What are the care instructions for this fleece?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours, close zips before washing, and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and do not iron.

What does 'thermal fabric' mean in this context?

It refers to the fleece material's ability to trap body heat effectively, providing enhanced insulation and keeping the wearer warmer in cold conditions.

Are there other colour options available?

Yes, the Dare 2b Kids' Switch Out Midlayer is available in various colours, including Blue and Orange, with different size options.

Troubleshooting

Fleece appears less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners. If already used, try re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to help restore softness.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Garment is not providing enough warmth

Ensure the midlayer is not the outermost layer. In colder or windier conditions, pair it with a waterproof or windproof outer jacket and a suitable base layer.

Reflective elements are peeling off

Avoid high heat when drying and refrain from ironing directly on the reflective parts. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended for longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This midlayer requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of packaging. It is designed to be worn as a mid-layer, making it compatible with various base layers and waterproof/windproof outer shells. For care, always follow the washing instructions on the garment's label. Typically, fleece items like this can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with similar colours. It is recommended to close zips before washing to prevent snagging. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fleece's thermal properties. Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry for best results. Do not bleach or iron.
