FAQs

What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?

Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is Helly Hansen's proprietary fiber system designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Why is Merino wool used in this garment?

Merino wool is used for its natural insulating properties, breathability, and softness. It helps regulate body temperature by trapping heat and managing moisture.

Can this be worn as an outer layer?

This crewneck is designed as a base layer. For warmth and protection in colder or more extreme conditions, it should be worn under additional insulating and protective outer layers.

How often should I wash the Lifa Merino Crewneck?

Wash as needed, following the specific care instructions. Over-washing can reduce the lifespan of the fibers, but it's important to clean after significant use to maintain hygiene and performance.

What temperature is this garment suitable for?

It is built for high activity on cold days. The specific temperature range depends on the activity level and individual body heat, but it is generally best suited for cold to very cold conditions when active.

Will the Merino wool make me itchy?

Merino wool is known for its fine fibers, which are generally much less itchy than traditional wool. The blend with Polypropylene also contributes to a softer feel.

What does 'no side seams' mean for comfort?

Having no side seams means the garment is constructed with minimal points of potential friction or rubbing against the skin, significantly enhancing comfort, especially during repetitive movements like hiking or skiing.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels rough or loses softness

Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat, and incorrect drying methods. Consider a gentle wool wash if available.

Poor moisture-wicking performance

Check for fabric softener residue, which can impede wicking. Wash with a gentle cycle and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the garment is not overly saturated with sweat, which can overwhelm the wicking capability.

Seams causing irritation

Although designed for comfort, individual sensitivity may vary. Ensure the garment is the correct size. Washing the garment before first wear can sometimes soften the seams further.
