FAQs

What is ILUS fabric?

ILUS fabric is a proprietary material used by Dare 2b, known for its stretch, breathability, and thermal properties, often combined with a fleece backing for enhanced warmth.

Is this midlayer suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?

This midlayer provides good warmth and is ideal as part of a layering system. For extremely cold or snowy conditions, it should be combined with a waterproof/windproof outer shell and a warm base layer.

How do I know if the size is right for me?

Consult the Dare 2b sizing chart for women's apparel. It is recommended to try the garment on if possible, or measure your chest and waist to compare with the provided size guide to ensure a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.

Can I wear this midlayer as an outer jacket?

While it offers some wind resistance and warmth, it is designed as a midlayer. For protection against rain and strong winds, an appropriate outer shell is recommended.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. This helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.

How should I care for the antibacterial odour control treatment?

The antibacterial treatment is integrated into the fabric. Follow the standard washing instructions using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the treatment and fabric performance over time.

What is SEAMSMART technology?

SEAMSMART technology refers to engineered garments that minimize or eliminate traditional seams. This results in a smoother fit, reduced chafing, and greater freedom of movement.

Troubleshooting

Midlayer feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the midlayer is worn as part of a layering system, with a suitable base layer underneath. Check that the fabric is clean; dirt and oils can reduce thermal efficiency. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing.

Odour control seems ineffective.

Re-wash the garment using a mild detergent, ensuring no fabric softener is used. Allow the garment to air out completely. For persistent odors, consider a specialist sports wash.

Fabric feels stiff or loses stretch.

Ensure you are following the washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying or ironing. If stiffness persists, a gentle machine wash may help restore flexibility.

Zippers are difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold weather.
  • Effective odour control for extended wear.
  • Durable and abrasion-resistant construction.
  • Good freedom of movement due to stretch fabric.
  • Provides UPF 50+ UV protection.
  • Convenient zipped pockets for secure storage.

Cons

  • Fit may vary and might require trying on.
  • Primarily designed for active outdoor use, may be too warm for casual indoor wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This midlayer requires no setup; simply wear it as an insulating layer. It is compatible with other outdoor clothing layers, such as base layers and outer shells.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's wicking and thermal properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not use high heat, as it can damage the fabric.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
