FAQs

Is this fleece suitable for extreme cold?

While the fleece provides good warmth, it is best suited for moderate conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather. For extreme cold, it should be combined with an insulated outer layer.

What does '1/2 Zip' mean?

'1/2 Zip' refers to a zipper that extends halfway down the front of the garment, typically from the collar to the chest area, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

Can women wear this fleece?

While this specific model is designed with men's sizing and fit in mind, women may be able to wear it if the sizing and cut are compatible with their preferences. Helly Hansen also offers specific women's models in the Daybreaker line.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the brand's official size chart for Helly Hansen apparel. Measure your chest, waist, and arm length to find the best fit. The 'L' in the product title indicates a Large size.

How often should I wash this fleece?

Wash as needed based on use. Frequent washing is not always necessary if the garment is aired out. When washing, follow the care instructions to maintain its quality and warmth.

What kind of activities is this fleece best for?

It is ideal for a range of activities including hiking, camping, casual wear, and as a comfortable layer for travel or lounging. Its versatility makes it suitable for both outdoor adventures and everyday comfort.

Does the use of recycled materials affect the performance?

No, the use of recycled materials in this fleece is designed to maintain the same level of softness, warmth, and durability as conventional fleece, while offering an environmentally friendly alternative.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers and reduce insulation. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out and avoid abrasive materials during washing or wear. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of lip balm to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
