Dare 2b Apex Full Zip Stretch Midlayer - L

The Dare 2b Apex Full Zip Stretch Midlayer is designed as a technical layering piece for outdoor activities, providing warmth, breathability, and freedom of movement.

No, this is a midlayer and is not waterproof. It is designed to be worn under a waterproof or water-resistant outer shell for complete weather protection.

Refer to the Dare 2b sizing guide for the most accurate measurement. Consider your preferred fit and whether you intend to wear thick layers underneath when choosing between sizes.

Yes, in mild, dry conditions, it can function as an outer layer. However, it lacks wind and water resistance, so an outer shell is recommended for more challenging weather.

SEAMSMART technology refers to a construction method that minimizes or eliminates traditional seams, leading to a smoother, more comfortable garment that reduces chafing and allows for greater flexibility.

The synthetic chemical-free antibacterial odour control treatment helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the garment fresher for longer periods between washes.

The fabric is a lightweight blend of 94% polyester and 6% elastane, featuring a grid fleece backing.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the brand's sizing chart. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a looser fit.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its effectiveness. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Check for any dirt or residue buildup on the fabric, especially the grid fleece backing, which can impede breathability. Follow care instructions for optimal cleaning.
