Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Lowline Core Stretch Midlayer is designed for active women who require a reliable, versatile layer for skiing or high-intensity hiking. Its primary benefit lies in the warm, backed stretch fabric that balances thermal insulation with freedom of movement. While it offers excellent performance during strenuous activity, users should note that as a midlayer, it requires an outer shell for full protection against wet or harsh weather conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this is a stretch midlayer designed for insulation and moisture management, not for protection against rain or snow.

Can I wear this as my only layer?

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions, but it is primarily engineered to be worn under a protective jacket.

How do the pockets work?

The pockets are equipped with secure zippers to ensure your items remain contained while you are active.

What is the antibacterial finish for?

The finish helps prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the garment fresh during long periods of use.

Is the material heavy?

No, the polyester blend is lightweight yet provides significant warmth through its 'backed' construction.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less stretchy after multiple washes

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during the laundry cycle, as this can coat the fibers and reduce their natural elasticity.

Garment losing its shape

Avoid tumble drying; always air dry your midlayer flat to prevent sagging or stretching of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your midlayer, proper care is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment before washing. Generally, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical fibers and interfere with the antibacterial treatment. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape. In terms of compatibility, this garment is designed to work seamlessly with standard technical base layers and waterproof outer shells. When selecting your size, choose the one that provides a close, comfortable fit against your base layer to optimize thermal performance.
