FAQs
What is Polartec fleece?
Polartec is a high-quality fleece fabric known for its excellent warmth, breathability, and durability. It provides effective insulation without adding significant weight.
Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?
As a mid-layer or standalone piece in milder cold, yes. For very cold or harsh winter conditions, it is best used as part of a layering system, worn under a waterproof and windproof outer shell.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements. The 'S' in the product title indicates the size is Small.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
This fleece jacket is not waterproof. It can offer some resistance to light moisture but will absorb water in heavier rain. It's recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer if rain is expected.
What other colors and sizes are available?
This specific model is available in Faded Yellow, Size S. Helly Hansen offers the Daybreaker Fleece Jacket in various colors like Blue and Beige, and in a range of sizes. Please check other listings for available options.
How often should I wash my fleece jacket?
Wash your fleece jacket as needed based on usage. Over-washing can sometimes lead to wear. Follow the care instructions to maintain the fabric's quality.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softener. Consider a specialized fleece wash or adding a small amount of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help restore softness.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is a common occurrence with fleece. You can gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or by carefully trimming them with small scissors.
