Full details

Its key benefit is the Q-Wic fabric, which efficiently wicks away sweat and dries quickly, keeping you comfortable.

FAQs
What activities is the Sprint City Hoodie best suited for?
It's ideal for running, training, hiking, and other moderate to high-intensity outdoor or indoor activities where staying dry and comfortable is a priority.
How does the Q-Wic fabric work?
Q-Wic fabric is engineered to draw moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is the fit true to size?
The hoodie features a slim fit. We recommend checking the brand's specific size guide for measurements to ensure the best fit for your body type and preferred fit.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This is a lightweight hoodie designed for performance and moisture management. It's best suited for mild to cool weather or as a base layer under warmer gear in colder conditions.
Does the hood offer much protection from rain?
The crossover hood provides coverage and some protection from light wind or drizzle, but it is not waterproof. It is designed more for keeping warmth in and staying put during activity.
What is the benefit of the anti-bacterial odour control?
This feature helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the fabric, keeping you feeling fresher for longer, especially during and after intense workouts.
How do I check if it's the correct size?
Compare your body measurements to the Dare 2b size chart. Pay attention to chest and waist measurements for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels damp after a workout.
Ensure you are using a suitable detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Check that the washing machine's spin cycle is adequately removing excess water. Allow the garment to air dry completely.
Thumbholes feel uncomfortable.
Thumbholes are a design feature. If they cause discomfort, you can choose not to insert your thumbs. The hoodie will function perfectly without using this feature.
Fabric has lost some of its stretch.
This may be due to improper drying (e.g., high heat) or excessive use of fabric softener. Follow the recommended care instructions carefully for future washes.
Odour persists after washing.
Ensure the garment is washed at the recommended temperature and with an appropriate detergent. For persistent odors, a vinegar rinse (1 cup white vinegar in the wash cycle) can help neutralize smells before a standard wash.
