Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Fuse Up II Midlayer is designed for active men seeking a lightweight, comfortable, and versatile layer for outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit is providing warmth and moisture-wicking capabilities with exceptional freedom of movement. A minor caveat is its primary function as a midlayer, meaning it may require additional layers for extreme cold. This midlayer is crafted from recycled polyester/elastane 4-way stretch Ilus Core fabric, offering supreme softness, quick-drying properties, and a brushed inner for cozy warmth.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Fuse Up II Midlayer?
The Fuse Up II Midlayer is designed to be a versatile, lightweight insulating layer for outdoor activities. It provides warmth and wicks moisture away from the body, making it ideal for layering under a jacket or wearing on its own in mild conditions.
Is this midlayer waterproof?
No, the Fuse Up II Midlayer is not waterproof. It is designed for breathability and moisture-wicking. For protection against rain or snow, it should be worn with a waterproof outer shell.
What activities is this midlayer best suited for?
It is well-suited for a wide range of activities including hiking, skiing, snowboarding, cycling, running, walking, and general outdoor use, particularly when layering is required.
Can I wear this as my only layer in cold weather?
While the brushed interior provides warmth, this midlayer is best used as part of a layering system. For very cold weather, you will likely need a warmer base layer underneath and a windproof/waterproof outer layer on top.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The midlayer should fit comfortably close to the body without being restrictive, allowing for movement and effective heat retention.
Is the fabric eco-friendly?
Yes, the midlayer is crafted from recycled polyester/elastane, contributing to more sustainable apparel choices.
Troubleshooting
Midlayer feels damp after activity.
Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Check that you are not overheating and have adjusted the half-zip appropriately for ventilation. Wash according to care instructions, as residues can affect moisture-wicking.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check the fabric around the zipper for any snags. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If the issue persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
Inner fabric feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's feel and performance. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and the correct washing temperature as per the care label.
Midlayer does not provide enough warmth.
This garment is designed as a midlayer. For colder conditions, consider wearing a thermal base layer underneath and a windproof or waterproof outer shell on top. The half-zip can be closed fully for maximum warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Dare 2b Fuse Up II Midlayer requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Its primary function is as a midlayer, meaning it is designed to be worn with other base layers or outer shells for optimal thermal regulation and protection from the elements. It is compatible with most outdoor apparel systems.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the fabric's performance and longevity, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a mild process. It is recommended to wash with similar colours.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach the garment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric's nature typically means it doesn't require ironing if cared for properly.
- Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.
