Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Fleece Jacket is designed for active women who need a versatile, lightweight midlayer that excels in various outdoor conditions. Its primary benefit lies in the use of high-quality Polartec® material, providing exceptional warmth and breathability without the bulk, making it perfect for layering during skiing, hiking, or casual chilly days. One caveat to keep in mind is that as a dedicated fleece midlayer, it does not provide windproof or waterproof protection on its own, so it is best utilized under a shell in harsh weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is a 'grab-and-go' garment requiring no complex setup. It is fully compatible with most technical hardshells and insulated parkas. To maintain the integrity of the Polartec® fibers:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in warm water using a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric loft. If using a machine, tumble dry on low heat.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the breathability and wicking properties of the fleece.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to prevent the fleece from becoming matted.
