FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Polartec Recycled fleece?

The main benefit is its reduced environmental impact due to the use of recycled materials, while still providing warmth and durability.

Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?

It provides good warmth as a mid-layer or standalone in moderate conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulated or waterproof outerwear is recommended.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Consult the Helly Hansen size chart for the Kensington range and compare your measurements. This guide specifies the XXL size.

Can I wash this fleece in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed at 40°C. Always follow the specific care instructions provided.

Does the half-zip design offer adjustability?

Yes, the short zipper allows for ventilation and easy adjustment of warmth around the neck.

What kind of seams does the garment have?

It features flatlock seams designed to minimize chafing and increase comfort during wear.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the hand pockets are equipped with YKK zippers for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels too tight or too loose

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for the Kensington line. Ensure you are ordering the correct size (XXL in this case). If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a different size or style.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Fleece loses warmth or softness after washing

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents, which can degrade fleece fibers. Use a low heat tumble dry setting.
