FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Lifa Merino blend?
The Lifa Merino blend offers the best of both worlds: Lifa fibers efficiently transport moisture away from the skin to keep you dry, while merino wool provides natural warmth and softness for comfort in cold conditions.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
This garment is designed as a base layer, intended to be worn next to the skin for optimal moisture management and warmth. It is best layered under other clothing for outdoor activities.
How often should I wash this crewneck?
Wash as needed, following the specific care instructions. Frequent washing with appropriate detergent and gentle cycles will maintain its performance.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The garment features flatlock seams for enhanced comfort and uses merino wool, which is generally softer than traditional wool. However, individual sensitivities to materials can vary.
What does 'Lifa Stay Warm Technology' mean?
Lifa Stay Warm Technology refers to Helly Hansen's proprietary fiber system designed to wick moisture away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, a regular washing machine can be used, but it must be set to a 'very gentle cycle' with luke-warm water at 40°C. Avoid harsh cycles.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The main fabric weighs 215 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Product feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is not overloaded with moisture from excessive sweating. Check that your outer layers are breathable to allow moisture to escape. Wash according to care instructions, as fabric softeners can impede wicking.
Itchy or uncomfortable sensation
While merino wool is soft, some individuals can be sensitive. Ensure the garment fits correctly and is not too tight. Wash the garment as per instructions; sometimes a wash can improve softness. Consider if you have sensitivities to polypropylene.
Reduced warmth or wicking performance
This can occur if the garment has not been cared for properly. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or high heat drying, as these can damage the fibers. Re-wash using the recommended gentle cycle and no detergents that inhibit performance.
