Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-zip is a versatile, lightweight fleece designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable midlayer for all-season use. It offers exceptional comfort through its soft, velvety texture and practical features like a high collar and durable YKK zipper, making it ideal for everything from alpine skiing to casual campfire layering. While it excels as a breathable layer, users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it does not provide windproof protection on its own, often requiring an outer shell in harsh conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is a lightweight fleece and is not windproof. It is best used as a midlayer beneath a windproof or waterproof shell.
Can I wear this as my only layer?
Yes, it is comfortable enough to be worn alone in mild temperatures, though it provides no protection against rain or heavy wind.
Does this garment use sustainable materials?
Yes, it is constructed with at least 95% recycled fibers and is a bluesign certified product, indicating high environmental standards.
How should I wash the Daybreaker?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat tumble drying to protect the fleece texture.
Does it have pockets?
The standard design focuses on a minimalist, lightweight profile and does not include hand pockets.
What is the benefit of the high collar?
The high collar provides additional warmth around the neck and includes a chin guard to prevent irritation from the zipper.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove dust or debris.
Pilling occurs after washing
Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim or garments with Velcro to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the Daybreaker does not require complex setup. It is designed as an athletic-fitting piece; if you prefer a looser fit for layering heavy clothing underneath, consider sizing up. To maintain the integrity of the recycled fleece fibers, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking efficiency of the material. Hang drying is recommended to prevent premature wear and to preserve the shape of the garment.
