FAQs
What is Lifa® technology?
Lifa® is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Why is Merino Wool used in this base layer?
Merino Wool is used for its excellent natural insulation properties, warmth, breathability, and odor resistance. It provides comfort even when slightly damp.
Can this base layer be worn year-round?
This base layer is optimized for cold weather and high activity. While it can be worn in cooler transitional seasons, its primary benefit is in preserving warmth during winter conditions.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for base layers. Pay attention to chest, waist, and sleeve measurements. The blend of Lifa and Merino is designed for a snug, performance fit.
Is this garment suitable for sensitive skin?
The combination of Lifa® and fine Merino Wool, along with flatlock seams and minimal design, aims to maximize comfort. However, individual sensitivities vary. The Merino Wool is typically fine and soft.
Can I machine dry this base layer?
No, tumble drying is not recommended. The care instructions specify to dry flat. Tumble drying can damage the fabric's properties and cause shrinkage.
What is the fabric weight?
The fabric weight is 215 gsm (grams per square meter), which provides a good balance of warmth and breathability for active use in cold conditions.
Troubleshooting
Item feels itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before first wear. The Merino blend is designed for comfort, but initial washes can help soften the fibers. Check that seams are lying flat and not irritating the skin.
Base layer is not wicking sweat effectively
Confirm the garment is worn as the *innermost* layer. If other garments are worn over it, they might be trapping moisture. Also, ensure the care instructions are followed, as fabric softeners or harsh detergents can impair wicking capabilities.
Garment has lost its shape after washing
Ensure the garment was dried flat and not hung while wet, as this can stretch the fabric. Avoid tumble drying, which can cause shrinkage and misshaping. Re-shape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry.
