Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-zip is a versatile, lightweight fleece designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable midlayer for hiking, skiing, or casual campfire evenings. It offers exceptional comfort through its soft, velvety texture and high-neck design, though its lightweight nature means it is best used as part of a layering system rather than as a primary heavy-duty outer shell in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
It is designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking; while it provides warmth, it is not fully windproof and performs best under a windbreaker or shell.
Can I use this for skiing?
Yes, it is an excellent midlayer for skiing as it is lightweight and fits easily under ski jackets.
What does bluesign product mean?
It means the product was manufactured using sustainable chemical practices, reducing the environmental impact of the textile production process.
Does this fleece have pockets?
No, the Daybreaker Half-zip design focuses on a minimalist, lightweight profile and does not include external or internal pockets.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The garment fits true to size as a standard midlayer; check the size chart if you prefer a looser fit for additional base layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling after multiple washes
Wash inside out in a mesh laundry bag and avoid over-drying in a machine.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric behind the chin guard is flattened and not caught in the YKK track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Daybreaker is a straightforward pull-over garment. To maintain the integrity of the recycled fleece fibers, machine wash it in cool water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking and thermal efficiency of the material. Always hang dry the garment to prevent potential pilling and to maintain the fit of the fabric. It is designed to fit true to size, making it highly compatible with standard base layers and most technical outer jackets.
