Nomadic Full Zip Hooded Stretch Midlayer - Tan

ILUS Stretch fabric is a proprietary material from Dare 2b that is warm-backed, flexible, and designed for active use. It offers a balance of insulation, breathability, and freedom of movement.

The fabric is treated with a synthetic, chemical-free, antibacterial treatment that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping you stay fresh during and after physical activity.

No, this midlayer is designed for warmth and breathability, not waterproofing. It is water-resistant to a degree but should be paired with a waterproof outer layer in heavy rain.

Yes, you can wear it as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions. However, for protection against wind and rain, it is best used as a mid-layer under a shell jacket.

The garment offers a UV shielding (UPF) of 50+, providing excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation.

SEAMSMART technology is integrated into the fabric construction. Follow the general care instructions for the garment (machine wash cold, mild detergent, air dry) to maintain its integrity.

It is ideal for a range of outdoor activities including hiking, trekking, trail walking, and general outdoor exploration in moderate to cool conditions.

Ensure you are using a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade fabric performance. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.

Ensure the garment is clean and free from detergent residue. Harsh detergents or fabric softeners can impact the fabric's technical properties. Wash according to care instructions.
