Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Blindside 1/4 Zip Midlayer is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require a technical, warm, and flexible layering piece for chilly weather. Crafted from high-quality polyester fleece with Ilus Stretch technology, it offers a snug, athletic fit that moves with your body during active pursuits. While it excels at trapping heat, its 300 g/m² fabric weight means it is best suited as a midlayer beneath a waterproof outer shell rather than a standalone outer garment in extreme wind or heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this garment windproof?

No, the Blindside midlayer is designed for warmth and breathability. It should be worn under a windproof shell for complete protection.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

You can wear it standalone in mild, dry conditions, but it is primarily intended for layering under a jacket in colder weather.

How should I choose my size?

The garment is designed for a snug, athletic fit. If you prefer a looser fit for additional base layers, consider sizing up.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the polyester fleece is not waterproof. It is designed to wick moisture away from the body to keep you dry from the inside.

Does the fabric contain recycled materials?

Yes, this midlayer is manufactured using recycled materials as part of Dare 2b's commitment to sustainable production.

Troubleshooting

Pilling of the fleece fabric

Avoid washing with rough items like jeans or items with heavy zippers. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills.

Garment feels restrictive

Ensure that your base layer is thin and moisture-wicking; bulky base layers can create friction and reduce the effectiveness of the Ilus Stretch fit.

Zipper sticking

Check for debris or stray threads in the zipper track. If it persists, apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant or graphite to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention for cold conditions
  • High level of elasticity for active movement
  • Versatile design ideal for layering
  • Environmentally friendly recycled material construction

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof on its own
  • Heavy weight fabric may feel too warm for high-intensity summer activities
  • Requires an outer shell for full protection in severe weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is a pull-over midlayer, ensure you select your correct UK dress size for the intended fit; the 'snug' design is intentional for moisture management. To care for your garment, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the fleece texture and stretch fibers. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the garment's breathability. For drying, it is recommended to air dry the item away from direct heat sources to prevent material distortion. Always zip up the collar before washing to avoid potential snagging in the machine.
