Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Men's HH Tech Half-Zip 2.0 is designed for adult males engaging in outdoor activities like sailing and hiking in warm, sunny weather. Its primary benefit is providing excellent sun protection (UPF 50) and superior moisture management to keep you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat for some users might be its lightweight construction, which may not offer significant warmth in cooler conditions. Key features include technical polyester fabric, rapid drying, moisture-wicking properties, flatlock seams for comfort, and a half-zip for adjustable ventilation.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of the HH Tech Half-Zip 2.0?

It is engineered for outdoor activities in warm, sunny conditions, providing UPF 50 sun protection and excellent moisture management to keep you dry and comfortable.

Is this top suitable for cold weather?

Due to its lightweight construction, it is best suited for warm weather. It can serve as a base layer in cooler temperatures, but it does not offer significant insulation on its own.

How do I wash the half-zip?

Machine wash in cold water (30°C). Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron at low temperature, and do not dry clean.

What does UPF 50 mean?

UPF 50 stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50. It means the fabric will block at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays when worn.

Can this be used for high-intensity sports?

Yes, its moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties make it suitable for high-intensity activities where staying dry is important.

What materials is the garment made from?

The shell is made from 100% polyester, with a significant portion being recycled polyester. It is also bluesign® certified.

How does the half-zip feature work?

The zipper on the chest allows you to open or close the neckline, providing adjustable ventilation to control your body temperature.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the garment is not overly soiled, as dirt and oils can impede moisture-wicking. Wash according to care instructions. Check if you are using fabric softener, which can clog fabric pores.

Chafing occurs despite flatlock seams.

Verify that the size is correct and the garment is not too tight. Ensure the seams are lying flat against the skin as intended.

Garment loses its quick-drying properties.

Avoid using fabric softeners or dryer sheets, as they can coat the synthetic fibers. Clean the garment thoroughly according to care instructions.
