FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is highly breathable and does not have a windproof membrane, which makes it ideal for layering under a windproof shell.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While technically possible, it is designed primarily as a midlayer; wearing it directly against the skin is comfortable, but it works best over a dedicated thin base layer.
How should I wash my Helly Hansen fleece?
Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle without fabric softener to preserve the softness and technical integrity of the fleece.
Does the fit run true to size?
The Daybreaker generally follows standard sizing, though it is a feminine cut designed to sit close to the body for optimal layering.
Does this garment have pockets?
No, the Daybreaker Half-Zip is a streamlined, lightweight design and does not feature pockets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently clear any debris; applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can restore smoothness.
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
Avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim or garments with velcro, and use a fabric shaver to remove existing pills safely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for a standard fit, making it compatible with most layering systems. For best performance, pair this fleece with a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layer to ensure sweat is moved away from the body. To maintain the integrity of the soft fleece fibers, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the technical properties of the fabric. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric structure.
