FAQs
What type of cycling is this jersey best suited for?
This jersey is ideal for road cycling, mountain biking, and general recreational cycling, particularly in mild to warm weather conditions where ventilation and moisture management are key.
How does the Q-Wic fabric work?
Q-Wic fabric is engineered to quickly draw moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate rapidly. This helps keep you dry and comfortable.
Is the jersey suitable for cold weather?
The jersey is lightweight and designed for warm conditions or high-intensity efforts. For cold weather, it is best used as a base or mid-layer with additional insulation.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Dare 2b sizing chart for accurate measurements. The jersey is designed for a performance fit, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel.
Can I wear the rear pockets for long rides?
Yes, the three rear pockets are suitable for carrying essentials on long rides, provided they are not overloaded with very heavy items. Their design aims to keep contents secure during moderate activity.
What is the benefit of the autolock slider on the zip?
The autolock slider prevents the zipper from accidentally sliding down, ensuring that your chosen level of ventilation remains consistent during your ride.
How does the anti-bacterial treatment work?
The fabric is treated to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria, which helps to keep the jersey smelling fresher for longer, even after multiple uses between washes.
Troubleshooting
Jersey feels damp or sticky after exercise.
Ensure the Q-Wic fabric technology is functioning correctly by washing the garment with a mild detergent and no fabric softener to maintain optimal moisture-wicking properties. Ensure adequate ventilation during use.
Zip slider feels stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric obstruction around the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure the inner zip guard is not caught.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged.
This is likely due to improper washing or drying. Avoid high heat, harsh detergents, and ironing directly on the reflective areas. If damage has occurred, the reflective function will be reduced.
Pockets seem to sag or stretch excessively.
Avoid overloading the rear pockets with excessively heavy items. Distribute weight evenly across the three pockets. For lighter items, the pockets perform well.
