Product Information
Full details
The Dare 2b Switch Out Midlayer is an ideal thermal companion for active children aged 7-8 who need extra warmth during chilly outdoor excursions, such as morning bike rides or school play. Engineered from 100% recycled polyester with a unique zigzag-textured finish, this garment offers excellent heat retention while maintaining breathability; however, users should note that as a midlayer, it is best paired with a windproof or waterproof outer shell during heavy precipitation.

FAQs
Is this garment machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable; however, please follow the care label instructions and use a cool wash setting to preserve the material.
Can my child wear this in the rain?
The material is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It is recommended to wear a waterproof shell over the top if it is raining.
Does the zipper have safety features?
Yes, it includes an anti-chafe chin guard at the top of the zipper to protect sensitive skin and reflective pullers for visibility.
What age group is this size for?
This specific variant is designed for children aged 7-8 years old.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, while the fabric is thermal and designed to retain heat, it is made of polyester fleece which allows for moisture vapor transport during activity.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check for fabric fibers caught in the zipper track and clear them; apply a small amount of graphite or dry lubricant if the track remains stiff.
Pilling of the fleece material
Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove pilling caused by regular friction; avoid excessive heat during washing to prevent further texture damage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sustainable design made from 100% recycled materials
- Effective thermal retention for cold weather activities
- Integrated safety features like reflective pullers and chin guards
- Stretch binding ensures a secure, comfortable fit
- Lightweight construction perfect for layering
Cons
- Not inherently waterproof or windproof
- Should be used as a midlayer rather than a standalone outer jacket in severe weather
- Specific zigzag texture may snag if exposed to sharp objects
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the recycled polyester fleece, wash the garment in cool water with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach, as these can break down the thermal fibers. Always close the front zipper and pocket zippers before washing to protect the teeth of the zip and prevent snagging on other items. For drying, air drying is recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the stretch binding on the cuffs and hem. When layering, ensure the outer jacket is slightly larger to accommodate the thickness of the fleece without restricting range of motion.
