Its key benefit lies in the revolutionary hydrophobic Lifa® technology, providing lightweight insulation and efficient moisture management.

FAQs

What is Lifa® technology?

Lifa® technology is Helly Hansen's proprietary system using hydrophobic polypropylene fibers. It actively moves moisture away from the skin to the outer layers, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Is this base layer suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the HH Lifa Crew provides lightweight insulation and is effective in cold conditions as a base layer. For extreme cold, consider layering it with a warmer mid-layer and an insulated outer shell.

Can I wear this for everyday activities?

Absolutely. Its comfort, dryness, and low-bulk design make it ideal for casual wear, commuting, or any daily activity where you want to stay comfortable.

How do I ensure the best performance?

For optimal moisture management, wear the Lifa Crew as the first layer next to your skin. Ensure it fits snugly but comfortably. Proper washing without fabric softeners is also key.

What does 'bluesign® product' certification mean?

This certification indicates that the product has been manufactured using sustainable processes and materials, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring consumer safety.

Does this material stretch?

Yes, the fabric has natural stretch properties to allow for freedom of movement and a comfortable, adaptive fit.

How does the fit affect performance?

The close-to-body fit is crucial for the Lifa® technology to work effectively. It ensures that moisture is drawn directly from the skin to the fabric's surface for evaporation.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels damp after activity.

Ensure the garment is washed correctly without fabric softener and dried thoroughly. Check that the outer layers are not trapping moisture.

Skin irritation.

Ensure the garment is a suitable size and not too tight. Wash the garment before first wear. Confirm no allergies to polypropylene.

Odor retention.

Wash the garment promptly after use with a mild detergent. Ensure it dries completely. Consider an enzyme-based sports wash for persistent odors.

Seams feel uncomfortable.

Ensure the garment is worn correctly with seams lying flat against the skin. Verify the size is appropriate, as a garment that is too tight can cause seams to dig in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine Wash: Use warm water at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede moisture-wicking properties.

  6. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
