Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen HP Fleece Jacket is designed for adult male sailors and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, versatile midlayer for inshore activities. Its primary benefit is a combination of warmth and unrestricted mobility, thanks to its specialized stretchy fleece construction. While it performs exceptionally well as a technical layer in chilly conditions, users should note that the fleece material is not inherently waterproof and is best paired with a shell jacket during heavy rain or wind.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the HP Fleece is designed for thermal insulation and breathability. It will absorb water, so it should be worn under a waterproof shell in wet conditions.

Can I use this for high-intensity activity?

Yes, the stretchy fabric and breathability make it suitable for active sailing and hiking where temperature regulation is important.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Hang dry for best results.

What is the best way to layer this?

Wear it over a base layer (synthetic or merino wool) and under a waterproof shell for the best performance in cold and wet environments.

Does this jacket block the wind?

While the tight weave provides some resistance, it is not windproof. It is best used as a midlayer for wind protection provided by an outer shell.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket follows a standard athletic cut. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy layering underneath, consider sizing up, though it is designed to be a slim-fit midlayer.

Troubleshooting

Static electricity buildup in dry conditions

Use a light anti-static spray or wash with a technical garment wash designed to maintain fabric properties.

Visible pilling on high-friction areas

Use a fabric shaver gently on the surface to remove pills, then wash inside out to prevent further friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • High level of elasticity for active movement
  • Slim fit that layers easily under foul weather gear
  • Quick-drying properties for maritime environments
  • Durable fabric resists pilling and wear

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof on its own
  • Fleece material can attract pet hair or lint
  • Limited storage pockets compared to heavy-duty sailing jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen fleece, follow these care instructions: machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking efficiency of the technical fabric. Always air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. For compatibility, this jacket is designed to be worn under standard Helly Hansen waterproof shells; check that your shell jacket size accommodates the medium fit of this fleece to avoid bunching at the shoulders or arms.
