Product Information

Full details

The Dare 2b Ventura Hooded Fleece is an ideal choice for active adult women who need a versatile, technical mid-layer for hiking, skiing, or mountain excursions. Its primary strength lies in the combination of soft, 230 gsm stretch fabric and specialized seam construction, providing exceptional mobility and comfort. However, users should note that as a performance fleece, it is designed primarily as part of a layering system rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof jacket.

FAQs

Can this fleece be worn as an outer layer?

It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry weather, but it lacks windproof or waterproof ratings, so it is best used as a mid-layer.

Is the fabric lightweight?

Yes, it is constructed from a 230 gsm stretch fabric that strikes a balance between warmth and being lightweight for active use.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, it features a grown-on hood for added coverage and warmth.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The fleece is designed with stretch fabric to fit snugly. For a more relaxed fit for everyday use, you may choose to size up.

Is it safe for sun protection?

Yes, it offers UPF 50+ protection, making it an excellent garment for sunny outdoor excursions.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the pockets are zipped, which provides secure storage for your small personal items.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears to be losing its softness

Avoid excess laundry detergent and skip fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and make them feel stiff.

Odour control seems less effective after long-term use

Wash the garment inside out according to the care label to ensure the fabric treatments are properly refreshed and soap residues are rinsed out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management and comfort via oval fleece backing
  • Highly durable stretch material allows for unrestricted movement
  • Effective odour control keeps the garment fresh after long days
  • Comprehensive UV protection for sunny, high-exposure environments
  • Low-profile seam design prevents chafing under backpack straps

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof, requiring an outer shell in severe weather
  • Fleece material can attract static electricity in very dry climates
  • Specific care instructions required to maintain the antibacterial treatment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Ventura Hooded Fleece in peak condition, machine wash it in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking and antibacterial performance of the fabric. It is recommended to hang-dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers.

When layering, treat this fleece as a second skin. It is most effective when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a technical hardshell or insulated jacket. Due to its form-fitting design, it fits standard adult sizes accurately, but consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit for casual wear.
