Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Jacket is an essential mid-layer designed for women who demand warmth and breathability without the bulk of traditional outerwear. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and active individuals, this Polartec® fleece provides excellent thermal insulation during cool weather or as a layering piece under a shell in freezing conditions. While it offers superior comfort and eco-conscious construction, users should note that the fabric is not windproof and may require an outer shell for high-exposure environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no formal setup; simply choose your size based on a standard fit for mid-layers. For optimal care, machine wash the fleece in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the breathability and moisture-wicking properties of the Polartec® fabric. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fibers and the YKK® zipper performance. Avoid ironing or dry cleaning. When pairing with other gear, the flat seam construction makes it compatible with technical harnesses or pack straps without creating pressure points.
