FAQs

Is the Ventura Hooded Fleece waterproof?

No, this fleece is designed for warmth and breathability. It should be worn as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.

Can I wear this for winter sports?

Yes, it is excellent for skiing or snowboarding as a mid-layer because it provides warmth without excessive bulk.

What does 'SEAMSMART' mean?

SEAMSMART technology refers to the strategic placement of seams to minimize friction and prevent irritation against your skin.

Is the fleece stretchy?

Yes, it is constructed from a specialized 230 gsm stretch fabric designed to move with your body during active pursuits.

Does the hood provide good coverage?

The grown-on hood is designed to fit snugly around the head to provide warmth and protection from light wind.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears to be pilling after frequent use

Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro to reduce friction.

Odour control seems less effective over time

Ensure you are using a dedicated technical gear wash and avoid over-loading the washing machine, which can prevent proper rinsing of residual sweat and salts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking and thermal efficiency
  • High level of stretch for unrestricted movement
  • Effective built-in antibacterial odour control
  • Provides reliable UPF 50+ sun protection

Cons

  • Not windproof on its own in high-exposure areas
  • Limited to layering under a hardshell jacket for wet conditions
  • Specific care instructions required to maintain fabric integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Dare 2b Ventura fleece, machine wash it in cool or lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and diminish the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking and odour-control treatments. Always air dry when possible, or use a low-heat tumble setting. Due to its slim-fit design, it is highly compatible with technical base layers and fits comfortably under most standard ski or hiking jackets.
