FAQs
Does this top provide real sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UPF 50+, which blocks a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation.
Is the fit true to size?
The top features a regular fit. If you prefer a tighter, more athletic fit, you may consider sizing down.
Can I wear this as a base layer in winter?
While it wicks moisture well, the fabric is lightweight and designed for warm-weather sun protection rather than thermal insulation.
What does 'bluesign product' mean?
It means the garment was produced using sustainable manufacturing processes that reduce the environmental impact of the textile supply chain.
Will the sun protection wash out over time?
The UPF 50+ protection is woven into the fabric and designed not to fade, ensuring long-term protection.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging or pilling
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces like Velcro or rough rocks. If minor pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver gently.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If the slider remains stiff, apply a tiny amount of wax or graphite to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Helly Hansen Tech Half-Zip lasts as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors in cold water.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical moisture-wicking finish.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat, delicate setting.
- Compatibility: This garment is designed as a standalone piece or a light base layer. It pairs well under windbreakers or shells if the weather turns unexpectedly cool, but it is primarily built for warm-weather performance.
