Full details
This Dare 2b Refresh Midlayer is designed for adult females seeking comfortable and functional activewear. Its key benefit is the combination of stretchy, quick-dry fabric with features like thumb loops and zipped pockets, making it ideal for layering and all-day wear during various activities.

FAQs
What type of activities is this midlayer best suited for?
This midlayer is ideal for a variety of activities including running, hiking, gym workouts, and as a comfortable base layer for colder outdoor pursuits. Its quick-dry and stretch properties make it versatile.
How do I know if the slim fit will work for me?
The slim fit is designed to be close to the body for efficient layering. If you prefer a looser fit for activewear, consider trying a larger size or opting for a different style.
Can I wear this as an outer layer in cool weather?
While it offers some warmth and wind resistance, it's primarily designed as a midlayer. For cooler or windy conditions, it performs best when layered under a jacket or shell.
How does the antibacterial odour control work?
The fabric is treated with an antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the garment smelling fresh for longer periods between washes.
Are the zipped pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed to be secure, but they are not waterproof. They offer protection from light moisture and are suitable for carrying small items like keys or cards.
What is the material composition?
The midlayer is made from 80% polyester and 20% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less breathable over time
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. A small amount of graphite from a pencil tip can sometimes help lubricate a stubborn zipper.
Garment loses its stretch
Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying, as this can degrade the elastane fibres. Stick to low heat settings for tumble drying and ironing.
