FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for technical climbing?
It is designed for light hiking and casual wear; it lacks the specialized moisture-wicking properties required for high-intensity technical climbing.
Does the fabric shrink?
As it contains cotton, it is prone to minor shrinkage if exposed to high heat. Always follow the low-heat drying recommendations.
How does the sizing run?
The shirt is designed with a regular fit, meaning it is true to standard sizing; if you prefer a looser fit for layering, you may consider sizing up.
Can I wear this with a hydration pack?
Yes, the absence of shoulder seams makes it specifically compatible with backpacks and hydration packs.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the cotton-polyester blend is designed to be breathable, making it comfortable for warm summer temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after washing
Lightly steam or iron on a low cotton-safe setting to remove wrinkles without stressing the fabric fibers.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after air drying
Give the shirt a firm shake or tumble it in the dryer on a 'no heat' air-fluff setting for 5 minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Helly Hansen Viken shirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach to preserve the integrity of the print and the cotton blend.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's shape and prevent unnecessary shrinkage. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
- Layering: Due to its regular fit, it works exceptionally well over thin base-layer T-shirts. If you are planning to layer it under a heavier shell, ensure your outer layer is not too tight in the shoulders.
- Storage: Hang the shirt on a contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and shoulders.
