FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is highly breathable to manage moisture during activity and is not windproof. It is best used as a mid-layer under a windproof shell.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the textile production process meets strict environmental and safety standards, ensuring minimal impact on people and the planet.
Does this fleece have pockets?
No, the design is focused on a lightweight, minimalist profile for optimal layering and does not include pockets.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While you can wear it directly against the skin, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer. It works best over a dedicated moisture-wicking base layer.
Is the material recycled?
Yes, this garment is constructed with recycled content as part of Helly Hansen's commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for loose threads around the zipper track and ensure no fabric is caught; applying a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite can also help.
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid fabric softeners in the future as they can leave a residue on the fibers. A gentle tumble dry with a clean tennis ball can help fluff the fleece pile back up.

Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors.
