Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip Fleece is a versatile, lightweight midlayer designed for active women who prioritize both comfort and sustainability. Whether you are hitting the trails, hitting the slopes for a ski trip, or simply relaxing outdoors, this fleece provides essential warmth with its soft, velvety texture. While it excels as a highly breathable standalone piece or an effective midlayer, users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it does not provide windproof protection on its own, making it best utilized as part of a layered system in harsher weather conditions.

FAQs

Is this fleece windproof?

No, the Daybreaker is designed for breathability and warmth. It is best used as a midlayer under a windproof shell in windy conditions.

Can I wear this as a standalone piece?

Yes, it functions beautifully as a standalone top in mild, dry conditions.

Does it have pockets?

No, the Daybreaker Half-Zip is designed with a minimalist profile and does not include pockets.

Is the material sustainable?

Yes, the garment is made with at least 95% recycled fibers and is bluesign certified.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying.

Is this true to size?

The product follows standard sizing for a comfortable, active fit. If you prefer to wear heavy base layers underneath, you may consider sizing up.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean any dirt or debris from the track.

Fabric appearing to 'pill' after use

Wash the garment inside out and avoid mixing with rough fabrics like denim or items with Velcro to reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and packable for travel or hiking
  • Soft, comfortable fabric finish
  • Excellent environmental credentials with recycled materials
  • High-quality YKK zipper for long-term durability
  • Highly breathable for active use

  • Not windproof, requiring an outer shell in gusty conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Helly Hansen fleece, proper care is essential. It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fleece. Tumble dry on a low setting or, preferably, hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric's soft texture. Due to its minimalist design, it is highly compatible with almost any shell jacket, vest, or outdoor coat, making it a staple piece for your outdoor layering system.
