FAQs

The Helly Hansen Daybreaker 1/2 Zip Fleece is made from Polartec material, known for its warmth, durability, and breathability.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

It provides good warmth as a mid-layer but is not designed as an outer layer for extreme cold or wet conditions. It performs best when layered with a waterproof or insulated jacket.

How do I best clean the fleece?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

The 1/2 Zip allows for easy ventilation and temperature control. You can unzip it to cool down quickly or zip it up for more warmth.

Can this fleece be worn by women?

What does the embroidered logo signify?

The embroidered HH logo on the chest is a signature mark of the Helly Hansen brand, indicating the product's authenticity and style.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece fibers. Always follow the recommended washing and drying instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a dry lubricant can sometimes help ease a stubborn zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.

Seams feel uncomfortable.

The flatlock seams are designed for comfort. If you still experience discomfort, ensure the fleece is not inside out, as the seams are intended to lie flat against the skin on the inside.
