FAQs
What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?
Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is Helly Hansen's proprietary system that uses specialized fibers to efficiently move moisture (sweat) away from your skin to the outer layers of your clothing, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Why is Merino Wool used in this base layer?
Merino Wool is used for its excellent natural insulating properties, its ability to regulate body temperature, and its softness. Combined with Lifa®, it provides both warmth and superior moisture management.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Helly Hansen. Base layers are typically worn snug to the skin for optimal performance. Check the measurements for chest and sleeve length.
Can this base layer be worn for everyday use, not just sports?
Yes, while optimized for high activity, the comfort and warmth make it suitable for casual wear in cold conditions. However, it might be warmer than a standard everyday base layer.
How often should I wash this base layer?
Wash after each significant use to maintain hygiene and performance. Follow the specific care instructions to preserve the fabric's properties.
What is the fabric weight (gsm)?
The fabric weight is 215 grams per square meter (gsm), indicating a mid-weight fabric suitable for providing warmth without excessive bulk.
Does it come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Helly Hansen Lifa Merino Crewneck is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity
Ensure the washing process followed the specified temperature and cycle. Over time, fabric softeners or harsh detergents can impede wicking properties. Re-wash following care instructions precisely.
Seams feel irritating
Verify the garment is being worn with the correct side facing outwards. While designed for comfort, individual sensitivities may vary. Ensure no external friction is occurring with other garments.
Reduced warmth or breathability
Check for build-up of oils or residue. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can coat the fibers and reduce performance.
