FAQs

What is Polartec® fabric?

Polartec® is a brand of high-performance fleece fabrics known for their warmth, breathability, and durability. It's designed to keep you comfortable by trapping air for insulation while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

The Daybreaker Fleece provides excellent warmth for its weight and is ideal for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer combined with a base layer and an outer shell.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The fleece should fit comfortably over a base layer without being too tight or too loose. There should be enough room to move your arms freely. Check the Helly Hansen sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can this fleece be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, the soft fleece fabric and flat seams are designed for comfort, allowing it to be worn directly against the skin or over a base layer.

What does 'bluesign® approved product' mean?

A bluesign® approved product indicates that the entire manufacturing process has been assessed for environmental impact, resource efficiency, consumer safety, and emissions, meeting stringent sustainability standards.

How often should I wash my fleece?

Wash your fleece after particularly strenuous use to remove sweat and prevent odor buildup. For casual wear, washing every few wears is generally sufficient. Always follow the care label instructions.

Can I wear this fleece as an outer layer in light rain?

While fleece offers some wind resistance, it is not waterproof. It can provide minimal protection against light drizzle, but for significant rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Wash using a cold setting and mild detergent.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the fabric around the zipper taut. If needed, apply a small amount of wax or lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Garment retains odors

Wash the fleece promptly after strenuous activity. Use a specialized technical wash or a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
