FAQs

What is Lifa® fiber?

Lifa® is a polypropylene fiber developed by Helly Hansen. It is known for its excellent moisture-wicking properties and lightweight feel.

How does the 2-layer construction work?

The inner layer uses Lifa® fibers to wick moisture away from your skin. The outer layer utilizes technical fibers to move moisture to the surface for evaporation.

Can I wear this base layer in winter?

Yes, but it's designed to be a base layer. You'll need to layer with mid-layers (like fleece) and an outer shell for warmth in cold weather.

How should I wash my Lifa Active Crew?

Machine wash cold with similar colors, use mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, tumble dry low or hang dry.

Is this base layer suitable for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the Lifa Active Crew is designed to manage moisture effectively during high-intensity activities.

What is the benefit of wearing a base layer?

A base layer helps wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. This helps regulate your body temperature and prevent chilling.

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information is dependent on the retailer.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels damp after activity.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the activity level and weather conditions. Consider a mid-layer for added warmth and moisture transport. Check that you are not overdressed.

Base layer retains odor after washing.

Wash the base layer immediately after use. Use a detergent specifically designed for activewear. Air dry thoroughly after washing.

Base layer feels too warm.

Adjust your layering system. Remove or replace mid-layers to regulate body temperature. Consider wearing the base layer on its own in milder conditions.
