FAQs
What type of cycling is this jersey best for?
The Protraction II Jersey is ideal for road cycling and general recreational cycling, particularly in warm to mild weather conditions due to its lightweight and breathable design.
How many pockets does it have and what can they hold?
It features three compartments on the back, suitable for essentials like energy bars, a small multi-tool, a spare inner tube, or a compact phone.
Is the fabric waterproof?
No, the fabric is designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not for waterproofing. It is suitable for sweat but not heavy rain.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
Refer to the Dare 2b sizing chart. The jersey is designed for a performance fit, so consider if you prefer a snugger or slightly looser feel.
Can I wear this jersey in cold weather?
While it can be worn as a base layer, it is primarily designed for warmer conditions. For cold weather, layering with a windproof jacket or thermal jersey is recommended.
Does the anti-bacterial treatment wear off?
The anti-bacterial properties are integrated into the fabric and are designed to last the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.
Troubleshooting
Jersey feels too warm during a ride.
Open the full-length zip to increase ventilation. Consider wearing it in cooler conditions or as a base layer.
Pockets feel loose or items fall out.
Ensure items are placed securely in the center of the pockets. For very light items, consider using a small pouch or bag.
Fabric has lost some of its stretch.
Ensure you are following the washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents.
Odors persist after washing.
Pre-soak the jersey in a mild solution of water and white vinegar before washing. Ensure thorough rinsing.
