FAQs
What is the primary material of the Ollie Hoodie?
The Ollie Hoodie is made from a cosy stretch blend of polyester, cotton, and elastane.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
It is designed for cool-weather wear and layering. For very cold conditions, it is best used as part of a multi-layer system.
How should I wash the Ollie Hoodie?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

What is the fit like?
The fit is described as 'Regular'. It is intended for comfortable layering, so consider your preferred fit when layering.
Can this hoodie be worn for sports activities?
It is best suited for casual wear, light activities, or post-adventure comfort due to its focus on warmth and relaxation rather than high-performance moisture-wicking.
What are the key functional elements of the hoodie?
Key elements include a double-layer hood, a high collar, a kangaroo pocket, and a stretch-bound hem for comfort and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the size chart provided by Dare 2b and consider ordering a size up or down based on your fit preference and how you intend to layer.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the garment is dried properly. Avoid over-drying on high heat, which can sometimes flatten fleece fibers. Gentle tumble dry on low or air drying is recommended.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling can occur with fleece. Washing inside out on a gentle cycle and avoiding abrasive contact can help minimize this. A fabric shaver can be used to remove pills if they appear.
