The Helly Hansen Lifa Merino Midweight Crew Base Layer is designed for active adults who need a reliable thermal foundation for cold-weather activities. It excels by combining the natural warmth of Merino wool with moisture-wicking synthetic technology, providing excellent thermal regulation during high-output sports. A key caveat for users is that, as a wool-blend garment, it requires more delicate care during laundering compared to standard synthetic base layers to maintain its integrity and soft feel.

No. Tumble drying can damage the wool fibers and potentially shrink the garment. Always air dry flat.
Yes, its classic crew-neck design makes it appropriate as a standalone top or a comfortable layering piece for daily use in cold weather.
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties, which helps the garment stay fresh longer than purely synthetic base layers.
Store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag or drawer. Ensure it is clean before storing to avoid attracting moths.
This garment is designed with a standard athletic fit that is intended to sit close to the body for optimal moisture-wicking performance.
Ensure the garment is washed correctly with a wool-safe detergent to remove any residual factory finishes or dust.
Wash the garment inside out in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction against other items in the machine.
Never hang the base layer while wet; always air dry it lying flat to prevent the fibers from stretching under their own weight.
To ensure the longevity of your base layer, always turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the Lifa layer. Use a gentle detergent specifically formulated for wool or technical synthetic fabrics; avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the moisture-wicking finish and damage the wool fibers. Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle or hand wash in cool water. Lay the garment flat to dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, as high temperatures can cause the wool to shrink and the fibers to become brittle. Due to its slim-to-regular silhouette, it pairs best with technical fleece mid-layers and waterproof shell jackets for a complete cold-weather kit.
