FAQs

What is Polartec Recycled fleece?

Polartec Recycled fleece is a fabric made from post-consumer recycled polyester, reducing waste and environmental impact while maintaining the warmth and comfort of traditional fleece.

Is this fleece warm enough for extreme cold?

The fleece is designed as a mid-layer and provides good thermal insulation for cool to cold conditions, certified EN 14058 Class 1. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it with a suitable outer shell and base layer.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for accurate measurements. Pay attention to chest, waist, and sleeve length for the best fit, especially given the articulated sleeve design.

Can this be worn as an outer layer?

While it offers protection from wind and cool temperatures, it is primarily designed as a mid-layer. It is not waterproof and may not provide sufficient protection in wet or very windy conditions when worn as the sole outer garment.

What does EN 14058 Class 1 mean?

EN 14058 is a European standard for clothing that provides thermal insulation for cool environments. Class 1 indicates a specific level of performance within this standard, relating to its thermal resistance.

Are there other color options available?

This guide focuses on the Navy color in size S. Please check the product listings for other available colors and sizes.

Troubleshooting

Fleece is pilling or losing its softness

Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying and excessive washing. Gentle tumbling with dryer balls can help maintain softness.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Garment feels tight or restrictive

Verify the correct size was purchased. Consult the size chart for Helly Hansen Workwear if unsure. Ensure the zipper is not over-fastened if experiencing discomfort around the neck.
