Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-zip is a versatile, lightweight fleece designed for active adults who need a reliable midlayer for trails, slopes, or casual evenings. Its primary benefit is providing warmth with a smooth, velvety feel, though users should note that as a lightweight piece, it may not provide enough insulation for extreme sub-zero conditions without a heavy shell.

FAQs
Is the Daybreaker Half-zip windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability. It is best paired with a windproof shell if you are venturing into very windy conditions.
Can I put this in the dryer?
While air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fleece, it can be tumble dried on a low heat setting if necessary.
Does this fleece have pockets?
The Daybreaker Half-zip does not feature any pockets, focusing instead on a minimalist, low-bulk design.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the product was manufactured using methods and materials that reduce the impact on people and the environment.
Is this fleece true to size?
The fit is standard for an active midlayer; it is designed to be slim enough for layering but comfortable enough for standalone wear.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and clean the YKK zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or debris.
Pilling on the surface after washing
Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with abrasive fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro to reduce surface friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a garment, setup is straightforward—simply select your preferred fit. To maintain the fleece's soft feel and structural integrity, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh fabric softeners, which can degrade the performance of the technical fibers. Always air dry when possible to prevent heat damage to the synthetic material. This fleece is compatible with standard outdoor layering systems, fitting well under most shell jackets.
