FAQs
What is LIFA ACTIVE technology?
LIFA ACTIVE is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that utilizes a 2-layer construction for exceptional moisture management. It's designed to be lightweight, breathable, and keep you dry during intense physical activity.
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
As a base layer, it's excellent for managing moisture in cold weather. For extreme cold, it should be layered with appropriate mid and outer layers for insulation.
Can I use fabric softener with this base layer?
No, it is strongly advised not to use fabric softeners. Softeners can clog the fibers and significantly reduce the garment's ability to wick moisture effectively.
What does 'Oceanbound Recycled materials' mean?
This indicates that the materials used in the garment are made from plastic waste that has been collected from coastlines and communities before it enters the ocean.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The 'XS' in the product title indicates the size is Extra Small.
What is the benefit of the bluesign product certification?
The bluesign system ensures that the entire production process is safe for workers, consumers, and the environment, meeting strict sustainability criteria.
Can this base layer be worn on its own?
While it can be worn on its own in warmer conditions or for specific activities, it is primarily designed as a base layer to work in conjunction with other clothing for optimal thermal regulation and moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is washed correctly without fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking. Verify that the washing machine's spin cycle is adequately removing excess water. Allow the garment to air dry completely between uses.
Reduced breathability or odor retention
Wash the garment with a specialized sports detergent or a mild detergent without additives. A quick soak in a diluted vinegar solution before washing can help remove residues and odors. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Stitching or seams coming undone
Inspect the garment for any loose threads and carefully trim them. If seams are significantly compromised, professional repair might be needed. Avoid excessive pulling or stretching of the fabric.
