Helly Hansen Tech Half-Zip 2.0 - Blue - S

This half-zip is engineered for outdoor activities in sunny, warm conditions, such as sailing and hiking. It provides UPF 50 protection and excellent moisture management.

The half-zip on the chest allows for adjustable ventilation, enabling you to quickly cool down or zip up for more protection, helping to regulate your body temperature during activity.

While it can be used as a base layer, its lightweight nature and focus on breathability make it best suited for warm conditions. For cold weather, you would need to layer it with warmer insulating garments.

UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering significant protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Yes, you can machine wash it in cold water (30°C). However, avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's performance and integrity.

The shell is made of 100% polyester, with 100% recycled polyester content.

Ensure the garment is washed with a technical fabric detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fibers and reduce wicking ability. Check that the garment is not too worn, as performance may decrease over time.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Wash with a dedicated sports detergent or add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Ensure thorough rinsing. Some technical fabrics can hold onto odors more than natural fibers.
