FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Daybreaker Block Jacket is made of microfleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to be breathable and warm, not a replacement for a rain jacket.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, it is excellent for winter use when worn as a mid-layer underneath a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The microfleece material offers natural flexibility and stretch, allowing for a full range of motion during athletic activities.
How do I determine the best size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan on wearing thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up, though the current fit is designed to be slim and ergonomic.
What is the purpose of the shoulder panels?
The panels provide extra abrasion resistance, which is specifically useful for preventing fabric wear caused by the straps of a hiking or climbing backpack.
Troubleshooting
Moisture accumulation inside the jacket
This often occurs if the jacket is worn without proper moisture-wicking base layers; ensure you are not wearing cotton underneath.
Fabric surface looks worn or pilled
Avoid washing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro; use a fabric shaver to gently remove surface fuzz.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Daybreaker Block Jacket, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water. Use mild detergent.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended. If you must use a machine, select a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers.
- Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece.
- Layering Compatibility: This jacket pairs best with a technical base layer underneath and a breathable rain or wind shell on top, creating a complete weather-ready system.
