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 chilly days. Its primary benefit is the Polartec® polyester construction, which provides exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio and high breathability, though users should note it is intended primarily as a midlayer rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof shell.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of Polartec® fleece which is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof barrier.

Can I wear this as a standalone jacket?

It can be worn as a standalone piece in dry, cool conditions, but it will not provide protection against wind or rain.

Does it contain recycled materials?

Yes, this is a certified bluesign® product that incorporates recycled materials in its construction.

How do I choose the right size?

This jacket features a standard fit. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may consider sizing up, otherwise stick to your standard size.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 270 grams, making it very lightweight for outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Zipper gets stuck or does not glide smoothly

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth; if it persists, use a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant to clear debris.

Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling after heavy use

This is common with fleece; use a fabric shaver or pill comb to gently remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull on the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed for a standard fit, making it compatible with most layering systems. To maintain the integrity of the Polartec® fabric and the longevity of the YKK® zippers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water.
  2. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the breathability of synthetic fibers.
  3. Hang dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting.
  4. Close all zippers before washing to protect the teeth and prevent snagging.
