Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-zip Fleece is a lightweight, high-performance layering piece designed for active adults who prioritize versatility during hiking, skiing, or camping. Utilizing premium Polartec microfleece, it delivers essential warmth without bulk, making it an excellent standalone top or mid-layer; however, users should note that it is not windproof and typically requires an additional shell during high-wind conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is designed for breathability and warmth, not as a windproof barrier. It is best paired with a wind-resistant shell in exposed conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it is soft, it is designed primarily as a mid-layer. It works best over a dedicated moisture-wicking technical base layer.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a cold, gentle cycle and avoiding bleach or strong softeners.
Does it have any pockets?
No, this specific model is designed for a streamlined, minimalist fit and does not include pockets.
Is the material sustainable?
Yes, it is a bluesign certified product made with at least 95% recycled content.
How does the size run?
The fit is generally true to size for a standard athletic cut, allowing room for a base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less warm than when new
Check for lint buildup or flattened fibers; a gentle wash and tumble dry on low heat (if care label permits) can often restore the loft.
Static electricity buildup
Static is common in dry, cold conditions; try a light mist of water or an anti-static spray, and ensure you are not over-drying the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the Polartec fibers. Avoid high heat.
- Compatibility: Designed to fit best over a base layer and under standard shell jackets or insulated parkas.
- Handling: Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the fleece fibers and reduce its moisture-wicking capabilities.
