FAQs
What is LIFA ACTIVE technology?
LIFA ACTIVE is Helly Hansen's technology for base layers, featuring a 2-layer construction that provides excellent moisture management and quick-drying properties, keeping you comfortable during intense activities.
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
As a base layer, it is designed to manage moisture. For very cold weather, you will need to layer additional insulating mid-layers and a protective outer shell over this garment.
How do I know if I'm washing it correctly?
Always wash with cold water, mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Do not bleach or iron. Following these steps preserves the fabric's performance.
What does 'bluesign® product' mean?
It signifies that the product meets strict environmental, health, and safety requirements, ensuring responsible use of resources and minimizing impact on people and the environment throughout the production chain.
Can I wear this as an everyday t-shirt?
While it has a stylish graphic pattern, its primary function is as a performance base layer. For everyday wear, it may feel very thin and might not offer the desired comfort or durability compared to casual wear.
What is the benefit of using Oceanbound Recycled materials?
Using Oceanbound Recycled materials helps to divert plastic waste from entering the ocean, contributing to environmental cleanup efforts and reducing reliance on virgin resources.
How does the 2-layer construction work?
The inner layer is designed to wick moisture away from the skin, while the outer layer helps to spread that moisture out, allowing it to evaporate more quickly. This keeps the skin drier and more comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate insulating layers over the base layer to facilitate moisture transfer. Check that no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can impede wicking. Wash again using a mild detergent without softener.
Reduced moisture-wicking performance.
Fabric softeners and residues can build up over time. Wash the garment with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle (no detergent) to help remove residue. Then, wash normally with a mild detergent. Ensure you are not using excessive detergent.
Pilling or snags on the fabric.
Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or items with Velcro. Use a gentle wash cycle. Small pills can often be removed carefully with a fabric shaver, but avoid over-handling.
