FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a fleece mid-layer and is not waterproof. It is designed to be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this while running?
Yes, its lightweight, breathable Polartec construction makes it suitable for cool-weather running when you need thermal regulation.
Is the fit athletic or loose?
It is designed as a versatile layer with an athletic cut that allows for easy movement without being overly restrictive.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from premium Polartec fleece, chosen for its warmth and breathability.
Does it have pockets?
This specific 1/2 zip model is designed for a minimalist, lightweight profile and generally does not feature pockets to keep the weight down.
How should I store the jacket?
It is best stored on a hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fleece fibers.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Ensure the track is clear of debris and gently apply a specialized zipper lubricant or rub a pencil lead over the teeth to reduce friction.
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
This is common with fleece after repeated use; use a fabric shaver to remove surface lint and restore the original look of the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for standard layering. It fits true to size, but if you intend to wear heavy base layers underneath, you may want to ensure your size provides enough room for movement. It integrates seamlessly with Helly Hansen hardshells.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40 degrees Celsius.
- Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fleece fibers.
- Tumble dry on low heat, or better yet, line dry to preserve the longevity of the fabric and zipper.
- Close all zippers before washing to prevent snagging or damage to other garments in the same load.
