FAQs
What is LIFA® technology?
LIFA® is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that uses polypropylene fibers to move moisture away from your skin to the surface of the fabric, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Is this t-shirt suitable for cold weather?
While it can be worn as a base layer in colder weather to manage moisture, its primary design is for high activity in warmer conditions. It offers minimal insulation on its own.
Can I wear this as an everyday t-shirt?
While comfortable for active wear, the fabric's texture and primary function are geared towards performance. For casual everyday wear, you might prefer a softer material, but it is durable enough for regular use.
How do I ensure the best moisture-wicking performance?
Always follow the care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat, as these can compromise the LIFA® fibers' ability to transfer moisture effectively. Ensure the garment is clean before use.
What type of activity is this t-shirt best for?
It is best suited for high-intensity activities and demanding work in warmer weather where significant sweating is expected, such as construction, manual labor, or outdoor sports.
How should I care for my Lifa T-Shirt to maintain its properties?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C), do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, and do not dry clean. Proper care is essential for the longevity and performance of the LIFA® technology.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt feels clammy or not wicking effectively
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Fabric softeners and excessive heat during washing or drying can impede the LIFA® technology's performance. Check that the garment is not overly saturated with sweat; if it's the outermost layer, airflow is needed for evaporation.
Chafing or irritation despite flatlock seams
Verify that the correct size is being worn. A garment that is too tight or too loose can cause friction. Ensure there are no external elements like dirt or debris trapped within the seams that could cause irritation.
Garment losing shape after washing
Follow the recommended care instructions precisely, especially avoiding high heat in washing and refraining from tumble drying or ironing. Lay flat or hang to dry instead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The Helly Hansen Lifa T-Shirt is designed as a base layer for active wear. It pairs effectively with other workwear or athletic apparel. Its primary function is to manage moisture close to the skin, making it suitable for layering under insulating garments in cooler weather or worn alone in warmer conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Machine Wash: Use lukewarm water, with a maximum temperature of 40°C (104°F).
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using any bleaching agents, as they can damage the fabric.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry the garment. Tumble drying can degrade the performance fibers.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can melt or damage the synthetic fibers.
- Do Not Dry Clean: Chemical cleaning processes are not recommended and may harm the fabric's properties.
