FAQs
What is the primary benefit of combining Lifa fibers with merino wool?
The combination provides the best of both worlds: Lifa fibers excel at transporting moisture away from the body, keeping you dry, while merino wool offers natural insulation and softness for warmth and comfort in cold conditions.
Is this base layer suitable for very strenuous activities?
Yes, the Lifa Stay Warm Technology is specifically designed to manage moisture during strenuous activity, keeping you dry and comfortable.
How do I wash the Helly Hansen Lifa Merino Crewneck?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C) on a very gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Dry flat.
Can I wear this base layer year-round?
This base layer is optimized for cold conditions. While it can be worn in milder weather, its primary benefits are realized during colder temperatures where its insulating properties are most needed.
What does 'no shoulder seams' and 'no side seams' mean for comfort?
These design features eliminate potential points of friction and chafing, especially when wearing a backpack or other layers, leading to a smoother and more comfortable fit during prolonged wear.

Troubleshooting
Reduced moisture-wicking performance
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Residue from detergents or fabric softeners can impede performance. Use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh chemicals.
Itching or discomfort
Although merino wool is soft, some individuals may experience sensitivity. Ensure the garment is the correct size and check that flatlock seams are not causing irritation. Proper washing can also soften the fibers over time.
Garment shrinking or losing shape
Strictly follow the wash and dry instructions. Avoid high heat, bleach, and tumble drying, as these can damage the merino wool and synthetic fibers.
