Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip is a versatile, lightweight mid-layer designed for adult men who need reliable warmth during outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, or camping. Crafted from high-quality Polartec microfleece, it offers an excellent balance of breathability and insulation, though it lacks windproof properties, making it best suited for layering under a shell in harsh conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability. It is recommended to wear a wind-resistant shell jacket over it in windy conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
It is intended as a mid-layer. While it can be worn next to skin, it is most effective when worn over a moisture-wicking base layer.
Does it have pockets?
The standard Daybreaker Half-Zip design focuses on a minimalist, lightweight profile and does not include pockets.
How should I wash it to keep it soft?
Use a gentle cycle with cold water, avoid bleach, and refrain from using fabric softeners.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the product was manufactured in an environmentally friendly and safe way throughout the entire supply chain.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, it follows standard sizing, though it is cut as a regular fit to allow for layering underneath.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track; ensure the chin guard is positioned correctly before zipping.
Fleece losing its soft texture
This is often caused by residue from fabric softeners; run an extra rinse cycle or wash with a mild detergent.
Pilling on the surface
Minor pilling is normal for fleece; use a fabric shaver gently to restore a smooth appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no specific setup; simply choose the size that fits your preference for layering. It is fully compatible with any standard shell, rain jacket, or parkas from the Helly Hansen lineup. To maintain the integrity of the Polartec microfleece, wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce the fleece's breathability. It is recommended to air dry or tumble dry on a low-heat setting to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic fabric.
