FAQs
What is the primary material of this fleece?
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker 1/2 Zip Fleece is made from 100% recycled polyester outer fabric.
Is this fleece suitable for very cold weather?
This is an ultra-lightweight fleece, best suited for mild conditions or as a layering piece under a warmer jacket in colder weather. It provides warmth but is not designed as a heavy-duty winter coat.
How do I wash this fleece?
Zip the garment before washing, wash dark colors separately, and do not use fabric softener. Follow the specific temperature guidelines on the care label, typically cool or lukewarm water.
Can I tumble dry this fleece?
It is recommended to air dry the fleece to preserve its texture and performance. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting.
What does '1/2 zip' mean?
A 1/2 zip indicates that the garment has a zipper that extends halfway down the front, from the collar to the chest, allowing for adjustable ventilation.
What is the weight of this fleece?
The fleece weighs approximately 230g, indicating its lightweight nature.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softener, as this can make the fleece stiff over time. Air drying can also help maintain softness compared to high heat machine drying.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help.
Fleece shows signs of pilling
Pilling can occur with friction. Minimize abrasion by avoiding washing with rough items like denim. Use a gentle wash cycle.
