Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Helvellyn Half Zip Fleece is an ideal midlayer for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight garment that performs as well in the mountains as it does during casual city commutes. It offers exceptional moisture management and thermal retention through its quick-drying polyester construction; however, users should note that as a midweight fleece, it is designed for layering and may not provide enough insulation on its own during extreme winter conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and moisture-wicking. It is best used as a midlayer underneath a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to hang dry to protect the elastic binding and the technical fabric finish from excessive heat.
Does the fabric pill easily?
The Helvellyn is specifically treated to be resistant to pilling, making it more durable than standard, untreated polyester fleeces.
What is the weight class of this fleece?
It is classified as a midweight fleece, providing an ideal balance between warmth and breathability for active pursuits.
Does it have a chest pocket?
Yes, it includes a convenient bonded pocket for storing small items.
What is the best way to clean the fleece?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a mild detergent, and avoid using fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Check for fabric caught in the Vislon teeth and ensure the zipper path is clear of debris or salt buildup.
Garment losing its ability to wick sweat
Wash the garment without fabric softener; leftover residue often coats the synthetic fibers, preventing moisture transport.

- Highly resistant to pilling and stretching
- Includes a handy bonded storage pocket

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Helvellyn fleece, ensure you follow standard care protocols for synthetic polyester garments. Wash the fleece on a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the elastic integrity of the stretch-bound cuffs and hem. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the wicking pores of the polyester fabric and inhibit its sweat-wicking performance. For best results, hang dry the garment using the integrated elastic hanging loop. This fleece is fully compatible with most technical hardshell jackets and down insulators due to its streamlined design and non-bulky flatlock seams.
