Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip is an essential, versatile fleece designed for adult women who need a reliable layering piece for year-round outdoor adventures. Whether you are trekking on a trail, heading to the slopes, or relaxing by a campfire, this lightweight garment provides exceptional warmth and a soft, velvety texture; however, because it is a lightweight midlayer, it may not provide enough insulation on its own during extreme sub-zero weather conditions without a proper outer shell.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

The Daybreaker is designed for breathability and comfort. While it offers good wind resistance, it is not rated as 100% windproof, so a shell is recommended in high-wind conditions.

Does the sizing run large or small?

This model generally follows standard sizing. For a midlayer, consider your typical size, but opt for a larger size if you intend to wear thick base layers underneath.

What does bluesign approved mean?

It means the textile production process meets strict environmental and safety standards, ensuring minimal impact on people and the planet.

Can I wear this as a primary jacket?

Yes, it functions well as a standalone piece in mild weather, though it lacks the moisture-proofing of a dedicated outer shell.

Where is the logo located?

The garment features an embroidered Helly Hansen logo, typically found on the chest area.

Is the fabric prone to pilling?

Like most high-quality fleece, it is durable, but avoid abrasive surfaces to keep the fabric smooth over the long term.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is sticking or hard to pull

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently clean the teeth with a soft brush to remove any accumulated debris or dirt.

Fleece feels less soft after multiple washes

Avoid using fabric softener in the laundry, as it leaves a residue that can flatten the fibers; opt for a specialized garment wash for technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your fleece maintains its softness and performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners which can degrade the fleece fibers.
  3. Drying: Air dry is recommended to maintain the fabric integrity, though tumble drying on a low, delicate setting is generally acceptable.
  4. Compatibility: This garment is designed to pair perfectly with Helly Hansen's technical shell jackets. When layering, ensure the fit is consistent with your shell to avoid bunching.
