Troubleshooting
Fleece feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Helly Hansen size chart. The articulated sleeves are designed for mobility, but proper sizing is key.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught. If issues persist, contact customer support.
