Full details
The Women’s HH Tech Hoodie is designed for active women engaging in outdoor pursuits like hiking and sailing. Its primary benefit is superior comfort through advanced moisture-wicking and quick-drying polyester fabric.

FAQs
What makes this hoodie suitable for sunny weather?
The hoodie features UPF 50+ fabric, offering excellent protection against harmful UV rays, and its lightweight, quick-drying polyester material helps keep you comfortable by managing moisture.
Is this hoodie warm enough for cold weather?
The Tech Hoodie is designed for sun protection and moisture-wicking in moderate to warm conditions. It is lightweight and may not provide sufficient insulation for very cold weather; it is best used as a base or mid-layer in cooler temperatures.
How do I wash and care for the hoodie?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean. Iron on a low heat setting. Do not wring the garment.
What does 'Recycled Claim Standard certified fibres' mean?
This means the product contains at least 95% recycled fibers that have been certified according to the Recycled Claim Standard, indicating a commitment to using recycled materials.
Can men wear this hoodie?
This particular model is designed and sized specifically for women. Helly Hansen offers various other styles that may be suitable for men.
What activities is this hoodie best suited for?
It is ideal for sunny outdoor activities such as hiking, trail running, sailing, kayaking, and general active wear where sun protection and moisture management are important.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is laid flat or hung to dry completely. For future use, consider the environmental temperature and your activity level, as intense exertion can sometimes exceed the fabric's immediate wicking capacity in very humid conditions.
Seams feel slightly irritating
Ensure the hoodie is worn correctly with the seams lying flat against the skin. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath. Check that the garment is the correct size.
Reduced sun protection effectiveness
Ensure the fabric is not overly stretched or worn thin. The UPF rating is based on intact fabric. Check care label to ensure washing has not damaged the material's properties.
Pilling or snagging on fabric
Avoid abrasive surfaces and rough handling. If minor pilling occurs, it can sometimes be gently removed with a fabric shaver. Be cautious during activities where snagging is a risk.
