FAQs
What is LIFA ACTIVE 2-layer construction?
LIFA ACTIVE is a 2-layer construction technology that combines a LIFA hydrophobic inner layer with a moisture-wicking outer layer. This provides excellent dryness, breathability, and comfort during intense activities.
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
This is an active base layer designed for excellent moisture management. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it with insulating mid-layers and a protective outer shell.
What does 'bluesign product' mean?
A bluesign® product means that the material has been produced with a responsible use of resources and minimal impact on people and the environment, following strict guidelines.
How does using Oceanbound Recycled materials benefit the environment?
Oceanbound recycled materials are sourced from coastlines and their communities, preventing plastic from entering the oceans and promoting a circular economy.
Can I wear this for casual everyday use?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable properties make it comfortable for everyday wear, especially in active or casual settings, though its primary design is for performance.
What is the intended fit of this base layer?
Base layers are typically designed for a close-to-body fit to ensure optimal moisture wicking. The 'Active' fit is generally athletic and streamlined.
How often should I wash this base layer?
Wash after each significant use to maintain hygiene and performance. Regular washing according to the care instructions will preserve the fabric's properties.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can hinder moisture-wicking. For intense activity, consider if the ambient temperature or exertion level exceeds the designed capacity of the base layer for rapid drying.
Stitching coming undone.
Inspect the garment for any loose threads. Minor issues can often be carefully trimmed. If significant stitching failure occurs, contact Helly Hansen customer support regarding warranty.
Material losing elasticity.
Avoid high heat drying and prolonged exposure to harsh detergents. Proper washing and air drying will help maintain the fabric's elasticity.
