FAQs
What activities is this midlayer best suited for?
It is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, cycling, walking, and general active pursuits. It's also suitable for warming up or cooling down.
Is this midlayer warm enough for very cold weather?
The midlayer provides warmth due to its brushed interior, but for very cold conditions, it is intended to be layered with a base layer and an insulated or waterproof outer shell for optimal protection.
What is the fabric made from?
The midlayer is made from a blend of recycled polyester and elastane, specifically Dare2b's iLUS Core fabric, which offers 4-way stretch.
How should I clean the midlayer?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Does the midlayer have pockets?
The product description does not explicitly mention pockets. It focuses on the fabric technology and fit for active use.
What does '4-way stretch' mean for the wearer?
4-way stretch means the fabric can stretch in both width and length directions, allowing for maximum freedom of movement and a comfortable, non-restrictive fit during physical activity.
Can this be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, on milder days, it can function as an outer layer. However, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer to be worn under protective outerwear in harsher weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper snagging
Ensure the fabric is flat around the zipper track. If it persists, gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Check for any loose threads caught in the mechanism.
Reduced stretch or softness after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the performance of technical fabrics. Follow the recommended washing temperature and drying instructions.
Garment feels damp after activity
While quick-drying, intense activity may saturate the fabric. Ensure proper ventilation by opening the half-zip. Allow the garment to air dry fully after use.
