FAQs
Is this midlayer waterproof?
No, the Dare 2b Fuse Up II Midlayer is not waterproof. It is designed to be a warm, breathable mid-layer and should be worn with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
How many plastic bottles are recycled in this sweater?
Each Dare 2b Fuse Up II Midlayer recycles approximately 19 plastic bottles.
What is 'Ilus Core fabric'?
Ilus Core is a proprietary fabric technology used by Dare 2b, known for its 4-way stretch, comfort, and moisture-wicking properties, often made from recycled materials.
Can I wear this as my only layer in winter?
While it provides warmth, it is primarily a mid-layer. For winter conditions, it is best worn in conjunction with a warm base layer and a windproof/waterproof outer jacket.
What does '4-way stretch' mean?
4-way stretch means the fabric can stretch horizontally and vertically, allowing for maximum freedom of movement and a comfortable, adaptive fit.
How do I adjust the temperature if I get too hot?
The half-zip fastening allows you to open the neck area to release excess heat and improve ventilation.
What is the inner zip guard for?
The inner zip guard is a soft fabric flap behind the main zipper to prevent it from chafing against your neck.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less breathable after washing
Ensure you have avoided fabric softeners and used a mild detergent. Consider a delicate cycle wash.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Garment feels too tight or restrictive
Check the size guide carefully before purchasing. This midlayer is designed for an active fit, but if significant restriction occurs, consider if a larger size is needed or if it's being worn with very bulky base layers.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your midlayer, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C or 86°F) with similar colours.
