Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Ventura Hooded Fleece is a high-performance midlayer engineered for active women who prioritize comfort and mobility during mountain sports, hiking, or ski trips. Featuring soft stretch fabric and specialized antibacterial odor control, it provides excellent warmth-to-weight performance without limiting your range of motion; however, users should note that as a lightweight 230 gsm fleece, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a standalone outer shell in severe weather.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, it is designed for breathability. You should pair it with a windproof or waterproof outer shell in windy conditions.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

Yes, it is suitable for mild, dry weather, but it lacks the water resistance needed for rain or snow.

What does the 230 gsm weight mean?

This refers to grams per square meter, indicating a mid-weight fabric that provides warmth without being heavy or bulky.

Does the antibacterial treatment wear off?

While the treatment is long-lasting, following proper care instructions will maximize the lifespan of the odor control features.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is a grown-on style designed for a secure, ergonomic fit that stays in place during movement.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appearing to lose stretch or shape

Check washing labels; avoid high-heat tumble drying which damages the elastane fibers.

Pilling on high-friction areas

Use a fabric shaver gently on the affected areas and ensure the garment is turned inside out before washing.

Garment feels less breathable than when new

Wash the garment with a technical sports detergent to remove built-up oils and detergent residue that clog the fabric pores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking and thermal properties
  • Highly flexible fabric for full range of motion
  • Effective odor management for multi-day trips
  • UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Compact enough for easy layering under shells

Cons

  • Not windproof, requiring an outer shell in gusty conditions
  • Lightweight fleece material offers limited insulation in extreme cold
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain fabric performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed as a technical midlayer and fits best over a moisture-wicking base layer. To maintain the integrity of the synthetic recycled polyester and the antibacterial treatment, wash the fleece in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and diminish the garment's wicking and breathability properties. Always hang-dry the fleece away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the spandex blend.
