FAQs

What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?

Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is Helly Hansen's proprietary fiber system designed to move sweat away from the body to the surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Why is Merino Wool used in this base layer?

Merino Wool provides natural insulation, keeping you warm even when damp. It is also breathable and has natural odor-resistant properties, making it ideal for active wear.

Can this be worn directly against the skin?

Yes, this garment is specifically designed as a base layer to be worn directly against the skin for optimal moisture management and comfort.

How should I wash this base layer?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C) on a very gentle cycle. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and dry flat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

Is this suitable for extreme cold?

This base layer is excellent for cold conditions, especially during high activity. For extreme cold or low activity, it is recommended to layer it with additional insulating garments.

What does 'no shoulder seams' and 'no side seams' mean for comfort?

These features eliminate potential friction points that can cause chafing and discomfort, especially during repetitive movements or when wearing a backpack.

What is the weight of the fabric (gsm)?

The main fabric is 215 gsm, which provides a good balance of warmth and breathability for active use in cold weather.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels itchy or irritating

Ensure the garment is properly washed according to care instructions. The flatlock seams and Merino blend are designed for comfort, so irritation may be due to improper washing or a fit issue.

Moisture not being wicked away effectively

Check that the outer layers are not trapping moisture. Also, ensure the garment is not overly worn or damaged, as this could affect Lifa® technology performance. Wash according to care instructions.

Garment losing shape after washing

Always dry flat and avoid tumble drying or high heat. Reshape the garment while damp if necessary. Do not iron.
