FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, the Daybreaker is designed for breathability. It is best used as a midlayer beneath a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

Does it have pockets?

This model does not feature external hand or chest pockets, keeping the design clean and lightweight.

Can I wear this as a base layer?

While it is soft, it is designed as a midlayer. For best performance, wear a dedicated moisture-wicking base layer underneath.

Is the material recycled?

Yes, this product is part of the Helly Hansen commitment to sustainability and incorporates recycled content.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors, use mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes

Avoid using liquid fabric softeners, which leave a residue on synthetic fibers. Try a gentle tumble dry on a low-heat setting to 'fluff' the fibers back up.

Pilling occurs on the surface

Pilling is common with fleece fabrics. Use a fabric shaver or a garment comb to carefully remove small lint balls from the surface.

  • Lightweight design makes it easy to pack or layer
  • Excellent breathability for high-output activities
  • Environmentally conscious manufacturing via Bluesign certification
  • Versatile style works for both hiking trails and casual settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your fleece in peak condition, always check the interior wash label for specific temperature settings. Generally, wash with similar colors in a gentle cycle using a mild, technical-friendly detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the fleece's breathability and moisture-wicking efficiency. For best results, air-dry the garment flat to maintain its shape and velvety texture. The fit is designed to be slim but comfortable, making it compatible with various base layers without creating restrictive bulk under a jacket.
