Is the Varde 1/2 Zip 2.0 waterproof?

Can I wear this as a top layer?

What if the zipper breaks?

Contact Helly Hansen customer support for warranty information and potential repair options. Avoid forcing the zipper, as that can cause damage.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the fleece is layered correctly with appropriate base and outer layers. Check that the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating properties.

The zipper is difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
