Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Fleece Jacket is designed for adult women who need a versatile, lightweight midlayer for outdoor adventures or casual daily wear. Engineered with premium Polartec fleece, it provides an excellent balance of warmth and breathability, making it ideal for layering under heavier shells; however, because it is a lightweight fleece, it does not provide windproofing or water resistance on its own in harsh weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes

This is often caused by detergent residue. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and consider an extra rinse cycle without adding more detergent.

Pilling on fabric surface

Pilling is common with fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver or a garment brush to gently remove surface lint and restore the smooth appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care guidelines: Always close all zippers before placing the jacket in the washing machine. Wash on a gentle cycle using cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and inhibit their breathability. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape, though you may tumble dry on a low-heat setting if absolutely necessary. The jacket is compatible with most standard base layers and technical shell jackets from Helly Hansen and other outdoor brands.
