FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Lifa® and Merino Wool combination?

The combination provides superior moisture management by wicking sweat away with Lifa® while Merino wool provides natural insulation and warmth, keeping you comfortable and dry in cold conditions.

Is this base layer suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the blend of Merino wool for insulation and Lifa® technology for moisture management makes it highly effective for cold weather activities, especially high-exertion ones.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's base layers. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist for the best fit, as this item is designed for a snug, base layer fit.

Can I wear this base layer for casual use or only for sports?

While optimized for high-activity, its comfort and warmth make it suitable for casual wear in cold weather, such as layering under a jacket for everyday activities.

How often should I wash this base layer?

Wash as needed after use, following the specific care instructions. Over-washing can sometimes degrade fibers, but for active use, washing after each significant outing is generally recommended.

What does '215 gsm' mean?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which is a measure of fabric density and weight. 215 gsm indicates a medium-weight fabric that provides a good balance of warmth and breathability.

Are there any specific detergents recommended?

It is best to use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking performance. Detergents specifically designed for technical or wool fabrics are ideal.

Troubleshooting

Item feels itchy

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. While Merino wool is generally soft, initial wear or improper washing can sometimes cause mild irritation. Check seams for any potential friction points.

Moisture not wicking effectively

Confirm the garment is worn as the base layer directly against the skin. Ensure no other tight-fitting layers are underneath that could impede the Lifa® technology. Wash with a detergent suitable for technical fabrics.

Garment has shrunk after washing

The garment was likely exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Always follow the specified care instructions, especially regarding water temperature and avoiding tumble drying.
