Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Lifa Merino Midweight Crew is designed for adult women who require a high-performance base layer for cold-weather activities. By combining the natural thermal regulation of Merino wool with the proprietary Lifa Stay Warm moisture management technology, it keeps the wearer dry and warm during intense outdoor pursuits. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the specialized wool-blend fabric requires careful maintenance to preserve its structural integrity and performance properties.

FAQs

Can I put this in the dryer?

No, you should never tumble dry this garment as high heat can shrink the Merino wool and damage the Lifa synthetic fibers.

Is this suitable for high-intensity sports?

Yes, the 2-layer construction is specifically designed to manage sweat during high-output activities.

Does it need to be washed after every wear?

Thanks to the antimicrobial properties of Merino wool, it typically requires less frequent washing than synthetic-only base layers.

What is the fit like?

This base layer features a fitted design to ensure optimal contact with the skin for moisture-wicking, but it offers natural stretch for movement.

Can I wear this in the rain?

While it provides warmth even when damp, it is a base layer and should be worn under a waterproof shell during rain or heavy snow.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels itchy against the skin

Ensure the garment is washed with a wool-friendly detergent which keeps fibers soft and prevents matting.

Garment has lost its shape

Avoid hanging the garment while wet; always dry it flat to prevent gravity from stretching the wool fibers.

Persistent odor after heavy use

Air out the garment in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight; Merino wool's natural properties will often reset after exposure to fresh air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Lifa Merino garment, always turn it inside out before washing to protect the Merino fibers. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a wool-specific detergent. Never use fabric softeners or bleach, as these will compromise the wicking ability of the Lifa fibers. Air dry flat in the shade to prevent the wool from stretching or shrinking under intense heat. This garment is highly compatible with other technical outdoor apparel, including synthetic mid-layers and waterproof hardshell jackets.
