FAQs
What is Polartec® fleece?
Polartec® is a brand of high-performance fleece fabric known for its excellent warmth, breathability, and durability while remaining lightweight.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Daybreaker 1/2 Zip Fleece is made from fleece material and is not waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer for warmth and breathability.
What does 'Regular Fit' mean?
Regular Fit indicates a standard cut that is neither slim nor oversized, offering a comfortable, balanced silhouette that allows for layering.
How should I choose my size?
Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart available on their website or retailer pages. The regular fit allows for some variation, but accurate measurement is recommended.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
While it can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions, it is best utilized as a mid-layer for optimal warmth and performance in cooler or unpredictable weather.
How do I care for the fleece to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling after washing
Reduce agitation during washing, use a mild detergent, and consider air drying instead of tumble drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Garment feels less warm over time
Ensure the fleece is clean. Dirt and oils can mat down the fibers and reduce insulating properties. Follow care instructions carefully.
