Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Men's HH Tech Half-Zip 2.0 is designed for adult males engaging in outdoor activities like sailing and hiking in warm, sunny weather. Its primary benefit is offering excellent UPF 50 sun protection along with superior moisture management and quick-drying capabilities. A potential caveat is that it is specifically engineered for warm conditions, making it less suitable for cold weather. Key features include a lightweight polyester construction, flatlock seams for comfort, and adjustable ventilation via a half-zip chest.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the HH Tech Half-Zip 2.0?

It is engineered for outdoor activities in warm, sunny conditions, offering UPF 50 protection, moisture management, and quick-drying properties.

Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?

It is designed for warm conditions. While it can be used as a base layer in cooler weather, it does not provide significant insulation on its own.

How do I wash the Tech Half-Zip 2.0?

Machine wash in cold water (30°C), do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron at a low temperature. Avoid dry cleaning.

What does UPF 50 mean?

UPF 50 stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50. It means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Are there other color and size options available?

Yes, this model is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

What are flatlock seams?

Flatlock seams are a type of seam construction where the edges of the fabric are flattened and sewn together, resulting in a smooth, low-profile finish that prevents chafing against the skin.

Does the material contain recycled content?

Yes, the shell of the garment is made from 100% recycled polyester.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels damp after activity.

Ensure the garment is made of technical polyester and is functioning correctly; check if it's overloaded with sweat or if the washing process has affected its wicking properties. Follow care instructions carefully.

Seams feel irritating.

Verify that the garment is worn correctly. The flatlock seams are designed for comfort; if irritation persists, ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight.

Sun protection seems reduced.

Check for any damage to the fabric or significant fading. While UPF rating is inherent to the material, extreme wear could theoretically impact its effectiveness over a very long time.

Fabric is not drying quickly.

Ensure no fabric softeners or incorrect detergents were used, as these can impede wicking and drying. Re-wash following the care instructions without any additives.
