Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Ventura Hooded Fleece is an ideal midlayer for active adult women who need reliable warmth and mobility during outdoor pursuits like hiking or skiing. This fleece stands out for its high-performance stretch fabric and integrated antibacterial odour control, ensuring comfort and freshness even on strenuous days; however, users should note that as a 230 gsm midlayer, it is best suited for layering rather than acting as a standalone heavy-duty jacket in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for winter skiing?

Yes, it acts as an excellent midlayer under a ski jacket to provide warmth while allowing moisture to escape.

Does the hood provide a snug fit?

The grown-on hood is designed to stay in place during activity, providing extra protection against wind and cold.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, but use a cool cycle and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the antibacterial and UV protection coatings.

What is the primary material used?

The Ventura Hooded Fleece is crafted from a high-quality polyester blend engineered for both durability and comfort.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, it features functional zipped pockets that are ideal for keeping small items secure during movement.

Will the odour control treatment wash out?

The treatment is designed to last through many washes, though we recommend avoiding fabric softeners to extend its effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Visible lint or bobbling on the fleece surface

This is common with technical fleeces. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pilling without damaging the material.

Garment feels damp after high-intensity activity

Ensure you are using a synthetic base layer underneath to move moisture away from the skin, as cotton layers will trap sweat and dampen the fleece.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester material
  • Highly comfortable thanks to seamless technology
  • Provides reliable sun protection for outdoor activities
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent mountain use
  • Includes effective odour management

Cons

  • 230 gsm weight is best for layering rather than standalone winter warmth
  • Polyester material requires careful heat management during washing
  • Slimmer active fit may require sizing up for base-layer heavy setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed as a technical midlayer. For best results, pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer and a waterproof outer shell when facing inclement weather.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water (30 degrees Celsius).
  2. Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric.
  3. Do not bleach or dry clean.
  4. Hang dry or tumble dry on a low, cool setting to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibres.
  5. Keep away from direct high heat sources to prevent damage to the stretch components.
