Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Power Up IV Midlayer is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and functional top for training or hiking. Its key benefit lies in its quick-dry, stretch fabric that wicks moisture and moves with you, keeping you fresh and protected. A minor caveat is that while it offers UPF 50+ protection, it's primarily a midlayer and may require additional outerwear in very cold conditions. Key features include moisture-wicking, odor control, UPF protection, reflective details, and SEAMSMART technology for enhanced comfort and visibility during outdoor activities.

FAQs

What is SEAMSMART technology?

SEAMSMART technology is a method of garment construction that minimizes seams, leading to a smoother feel against the skin and enhanced freedom of movement.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this is a midlayer and is not designed to be waterproof. It focuses on moisture-wicking, breathability, and protection from elements like sun and wind.

Can I wear this as a standalone top?

Yes, you can wear it as a standalone top, especially in mild to warm conditions where its moisture-wicking and UPF protection are beneficial. For cooler weather, it's best used as a layer.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate fit. The 'Regular' fit type suggests a standard cut, not too tight or too loose.

What is the UPF rating?

The UPF rating is 50+, which means it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are integrated into the fabric or applied in a way that should withstand normal washing and wear. Avoid harsh abrasion or high-heat ironing.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less breathable or is not drying quickly

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Wash the garment with similar items and rinse thoroughly. Consider a second rinse cycle if necessary.

Odor persists after washing

Wash with a sports-specific detergent designed to break down odor-causing bacteria. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the slider back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite can help lubricate the teeth if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties keep you dry during activity.
  • Odor control technology helps maintain freshness on longer outings.
  • High UPF 50+ rating offers significant sun protection.
  • Stretch fabric and SEAMSMART technology ensure a comfortable, unrestricted fit.
  • Reflective details enhance safety in low-light conditions.

Cons

  • Primarily a midlayer, may require additional insulation in colder weather.
  • The half-length zip offers limited ventilation compared to a full zip.
  • Thumb loops might not be preferred by all users.
  • Specific care instructions are needed to maintain fabric performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This midlayer requires no setup; simply wear it. It is compatible with most outdoor apparel and base layers. To maintain its performance properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
