Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Helvellyn Full Zip Fleece is an ideal midlayer for active adults who need a reliable, lightweight thermal garment for both mountain adventures and urban commutes. Crafted from durable polyester, it excels at moisture-wicking and quick-drying, ensuring comfort during high-exertion activities. While it provides excellent insulation and layering capability, potential users should note that as a midweight fleece, it is designed for layering rather than as a standalone shell in heavy precipitation.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Helvellyn is a breathable midlayer. It is designed to allow air to circulate to prevent overheating, so it will not block heavy wind unless worn under a shell.
Can I wear this while it is raining?
The fleece itself is not waterproof. It is best used as an insulation layer underneath a waterproof jacket in wet conditions.
How should I wash the fleece?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and air dry by hanging it up.
Is the material stretchy?
The fleece features stretch-bound elements at the cuffs and hem for a snug fit, while the polyester body offers a natural, comfortable flex during movement.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a collar design without a hood.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing fuzzy or pilling
While the fabric is resistant to pilling, friction from heavy abrasive surfaces can still cause it. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface pills.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, wipe the Vislon teeth clean of any debris or dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Helvellyn Fleece is designed to be a standard-fit layering piece. For best results, pair it with a base layer to maximize moisture management and a hardshell or softshell jacket for wind and rain protection. To ensure the longevity of the polyester fabric, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking performance of the fibers. Hang it to dry using the integrated elastic loop, which helps maintain the shape of the garment and prevents it from stretching out on a hanger.
