Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip Fleece is a versatile midlayer designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need lightweight warmth for all seasons. It provides exceptional comfort with a velvety, smooth texture, making it perfect for hiking, skiing, or casual evening wear. While it serves as an excellent layering piece, it does not feature windproof or waterproof membranes, meaning you may need an additional outer shell in harsh, high-wind conditions.

FAQs

Can I wear this in the rain?

The Daybreaker fleece is not waterproof. It is best used as a midlayer under a dedicated rain shell during wet weather.

Is this fleece windproof?

No, it is highly breathable but does not block wind, so a windproof outer layer is recommended for windy ridges.

How should I wash the fleece?

Machine wash in cold water. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.

Is this suitable for summer use?

Yes, its lightweight nature makes it an excellent layer for cool summer evenings or high-altitude alpine environments.

Does the sizing run true?

The Daybreaker line generally fits true to size, but consider the intended layering; if you plan to wear heavy base layers underneath, you might prefer a slightly looser fit.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Ensure no loose threads or fleece fibers are caught in the track, then run a light amount of zipper wax or candle wax along the teeth.

Fleece feels less soft after washing

You may have used too much detergent or fabric softener; rinse the garment again in cold water without soap and hang dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and breathable
  • Soft, comfortable fabric texture
  • Effective thermal regulation
  • Dries quickly after light moisture exposure
  • Versatile for various outdoor activities

Cons

  • Offers limited wind protection
  • Not waterproof or water-resistant
  • May require a shell for extreme cold or rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, wear this fleece as your base or mid-layer directly over a moisture-wicking synthetic tee. To maintain the fleece's soft feel, machine wash it in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking efficiency of the garment. Always tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to preserve the integrity of the fleece texture and prevent shrinkage.
