Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Lifa Active Crew is designed for active women who require reliable moisture management and lightweight warmth during high-intensity outdoor pursuits. Its advanced 2-layer construction efficiently wicks sweat away from the skin, ensuring comfort during skiing, hiking, or climbing; however, users should note that as a dedicated base layer, it is best suited for layering under mid-layers rather than as a standalone garment in extreme cold.

FAQs

Is this base layer suitable for summer hiking?

Yes, its lightweight, moisture-wicking properties make it excellent for managing sweat during summer outdoor activities.

Can I tumble dry the Lifa Active Crew?

It is best to air dry the garment to protect the fibers, but it can be tumble dried on a very low heat setting if necessary.

How should this fit?

It should fit close to the body without being restrictive, which allows the Lifa fibers to wick moisture effectively.

Is it windproof?

No, it is designed for moisture management and insulation, not wind protection. You should wear a windproof shell over it in windy conditions.

Does the fabric contain wool?

The Lifa Active series is primarily composed of technical synthetic fibers, including Lifa fiber technology, rather than merino wool.

Troubleshooting

The garment feels damp after high exertion

Ensure you are using a breathable mid-layer or jacket; moisture can become trapped if the outer layer is not sufficiently breathable.

Fabric has a slight odor after long use

Wash the garment according to the care instructions using a specialized sports detergent designed to remove oils and odors from synthetic fabrics.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Helly Hansen Lifa Active base layer, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can coat the fibers and interfere with the wicking performance.
  • Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain fabric integrity. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
  • Layering: For maximum efficacy, pair this crew with a breathable mid-layer, such as a fleece or wool sweater, and a waterproof shell in wet conditions.
  • Fit: The garment is designed to be worn close to the body to ensure moisture is effectively transferred from the skin into the outer layers.
