Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Fleece Jacket is designed for active women who need a versatile, lightweight mid-layer for outdoor activities or casual daily wear. Crafted from breathable, recycled Polartec fleece, it offers excellent warmth-to-weight ratio; however, its lightweight nature means it is not designed to serve as a standalone windproof or waterproof outer shell in harsh, stormy weather.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is made of breathable Polartec fleece, which allows air to pass through for ventilation. It is best paired with a windproof outer shell in windy conditions.
Can I use this for high-intensity sports?
Yes, its high breathability makes it an excellent choice for activities like hiking, cross-country skiing, or cycling where moisture management is key.
Is the material sustainable?
Yes, it is a bluesign® certified product and is constructed using 100% recycled polyester.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Folding it or hanging it on a wide-shouldered hanger will help maintain its shape.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a standard collar construction without a hood, making it ideal for layering without extra bulk around the neck.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper track and ensure no debris is in the teeth. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can help.
Fleece losing its softness
Avoid using fabric softeners during wash cycles, as they leave a residue that clogs the fibers and makes the fleece feel coarse.
Excessive pilling after use
Wash the garment inside out and follow temperature guidelines closely; pilling is common in fleece but can be reduced by avoiding harsh agitation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Helly Hansen Daybreaker in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. Always close all zippers before placing the garment in the washing machine to prevent snagging. Wash on a warm cycle (40°C) and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the Polartec fabric. Tumble dry on low heat only, and do not iron or dry clean the fleece. For the best longevity, wash dark colors separately to avoid color bleeding.
