Helly Hansen LIFA Active Solen Hoodie - Blue - M - Regular

No, the UPF 50+ protection is integrated into the fabric fibers themselves, so it will remain effective regardless of how many times you wash the garment.

The Solen hoodie is designed for warm, sunny conditions. It provides very little insulation, so it would not be ideal as a primary layer for winter unless paired with significant insulating layers.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and it is best to air dry to maintain the fabric's structural integrity.

While the fabric is durable and provides sun protection, it is designed for athletic performance and moisture management on land. Prolonged salt or chlorine exposure may affect the fabric over time.

Yes, this hoodie follows a standard regular fit, meaning you should select your usual size for a comfortable, athletic drape.

Ensure the garment is not being worn underneath a non-breathable outer layer; the moisture-wicking system relies on air circulation to move sweat away from the skin.

Utilize the integrated thumbholes to anchor the cuffs in place; if this is insufficient, ensure you are wearing the correct size to prevent excessive fabric slack.

Wash immediately after heavy sweating using a technical laundry detergent designed for synthetic fabrics to ensure the sweat-wicking pores remain clear.
