Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen HH Tech Half-Zip 2.0 is designed for adult males engaging in outdoor activities like sailing and hiking, particularly in warm, sunny conditions. Its primary benefit is offering excellent UPF 50 sun protection combined with superior moisture management and quick-drying properties. A minor caveat is that it's engineered for warmer weather, so it may not provide sufficient warmth in colder climates. Key features include lightweight fabric, moisture-wicking technology, quick-dry capabilities, and a half-zip for adjustable ventilation.

Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry.

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels clammy or not wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it can clog the fabric's pores. Wash with like colors using a mild detergent. Check that the garment is not overly worn, as performance may degrade over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Sun protection seems reduced.
The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric and does not degrade significantly with normal use and washing. If you suspect reduced protection, consider the age of the garment. Prolonged exposure to harsh elements can eventually affect fabric integrity.
