FAQs

Can I put this in the dryer?

It is highly recommended to air dry this garment flat to prevent shrinking and damage to the wool fibers.

Does the slim fit run true to size?

Yes, but as it is a slim, athletic fit, it will hug the body. Size up if you prefer a less restrictive feel.

Is this suitable for high-intensity sports like running?

Yes, the Lifa moisture-wicking technology makes it excellent for high-exertion activities in cold climates.

Does it smell after multiple days of use?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, allowing for multiple uses before needing a wash, provided you air it out between uses.

What is the primary benefit of the 2-layer system?

It combines the hydrophobic wicking of synthetic Lifa fibers with the natural, insulating warmth of Merino wool.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy against the skin

Ensure you are using a wool-specific fabric conditioner or simply wash it to remove any manufacturing dust.

Base layer feels slightly damp during heavy exercise

Ensure your outer layers are breathable; if your shell is not venting properly, moisture will trap against your skin regardless of the base layer quality.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management prevents chills during activity.
  • Natural odor-resistant properties of Merino wool.
  • Lightweight construction reduces bulk under outer layers.
  • Versatile for a wide range of cold-weather sports.

Cons

  • Slim fit may be too tight for some body types.
  • Requires careful laundering to maintain wool integrity.
  • Limited color palette compared to casual base layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is made with delicate wool fibers, proper care is essential to avoid shrinking or pilling. Always wash in cold water using a wool-safe detergent on a delicate cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the natural properties of the fibers. For best results, reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry out of direct sunlight. The slim fit is designed to pair seamlessly with other technical mid-layers or shell jackets from the Helly Hansen line.
