The Dare 2b Emerging III Midlayer is designed for active adult women who need a versatile, technical layer for chilly outdoor pursuits like hiking or trail running. Its primary benefit is the combination of thermal warmth and high-stretch comfort, provided by the ILUS fabric and cosy fleece backing, making it ideal for maintaining performance during cold-weather ascents. A key caveat to consider is that while it is highly effective as a thermal midlayer, it is primarily designed for moisture management and warmth rather than acting as a standalone waterproof outer shell in heavy precipitation.

Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle with cool water to preserve the fabric's elasticity.
The fabric is designed to manage windchill, but it is not a 100% windproof shell. For high-wind conditions, wear a dedicated windbreaker over it.
The Emerging III features an athletic fit. If you prefer a looser feel for layering underneath, consider sizing up.
While it is primarily a thermal midlayer, the UPF 50+ protection makes it a great choice for high-altitude hiking where sun protection is necessary.
The technology is durable, but effectiveness can diminish over years of heavy use and repeated washings with harsh detergents.
Ensure you are using a synthetic or merino base layer underneath, as cotton base layers absorb moisture and prevent the midlayer from breathing correctly.
This can occur from friction against rough backpack straps. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface fuzz, but avoid pulling at the threads.
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is essential to retain its thermal and moisture-wicking properties. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings. Generally, wash with like colours in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fabric pores and reduce breathability. To maintain the stretch performance, hang-dry the garment rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer. For layering compatibility, this piece fits best over a thin, moisture-wicking base layer and comfortably beneath a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
