Its key benefit is the advanced LIFA® hydrophobic technology, providing lightweight insulation and efficient moisture management.

FAQs
What is LIFA® technology?
LIFA® is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that uses hydrophobic polypropylene fibers. These fibers actively repel water, moving moisture away from the skin to the outer layers of the fabric, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is this base layer suitable for very cold weather?
The HH Lifa Crew provides lightweight insulation and excellent moisture management, making it ideal for active use in cool to cold conditions. For extremely cold weather or low-activity situations, it is recommended to layer it with a warmer mid-layer and an insulating outer shell.
How do I wash my Helly Hansen Lifa base layer?
You can machine wash it in warm water at 40°C. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's performance.
What does 'close to the body' fit mean?
This means the garment is designed to fit snugly against your skin. This fit is crucial for the LIFA® technology to effectively wick moisture away from your body.
Can I wear this base layer every day?
Yes, the HH Lifa Crew is designed for comfort and performance, making it suitable for everyday wear, especially in cooler climates or when engaging in outdoor activities.
What is the material composition?
The fabric is composed of 100% LIFA® (Polypropylene).
Is this product bluesign® certified?
Yes, this product is a bluesign® product, indicating it meets high standards for environmental sustainability and responsible manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels clammy or wet
Ensure the base layer is worn directly against the skin. If wearing multiple layers, verify that your mid-layers are also breathable and moisture-wicking, and that your outer shell is not trapping moisture.
Reduced warmth or insulation
Check that the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impair the fabric's performance. Consider adding a warmer mid-layer or a more windproof outer shell if in very cold or windy conditions.
Chafing or irritation
Ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight. The flat seams are designed to minimize irritation, but proper fit is essential.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This is normal for LIFA® material. Its performance is not affected by stiffness. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking properties.
