FAQs
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
The Daybreaker 1/2 Zip Fleece is designed for moderate to cool conditions. It excels as a mid-layer for added insulation in colder weather when worn with a base layer and an outer shell, but may not be sufficient as a standalone piece in extreme cold.
What does 'Polartec fleece' mean?
Polartec is a brand known for high-performance fleece fabrics. Polartec fleece provides excellent warmth with minimal weight and high breathability, making it ideal for active outdoor wear.
Can this fleece be worn by women?
This specific product is listed as a men's garment. Helly Hansen offers similar fleece styles designed for women in different fits and colors.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the product's size chart provided by Helly Hansen, typically based on chest and waist measurements. This guide refers to a Men's Medium (M).
Is the recycled material aspect significant?
Yes, using recycled materials reduces the environmental impact of the garment by diverting waste from landfills and decreasing reliance on virgin resources.
How should I care for the YKK zipper?
Ensure the zipper is clear of debris before zipping. If it becomes stiff, you can lightly lubricate it with a graphite pencil or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling after washing
Use a gentle wash cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh rubbing and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the garment is clean. Fabric softeners or dirt buildup can clog the fleece fibers. Follow care instructions carefully, avoiding fabric softeners.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently run a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Clean the zipper area if dirt is present.
