FAQs
What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?
Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is Helly Hansen's proprietary fiber system designed to wick moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during physical activity.
How does Merino wool benefit this base layer?
Merino wool provides natural insulation, keeping you warm even when damp, and offers excellent odor resistance. It also adds a soft feel against the skin.
Can I wear this in mild weather?
This base layer is optimized for cold conditions. While breathable, it may be too warm for mild or hot weather activities.
How often should I wash this base layer?
Wash as needed based on usage. Due to Merino wool's natural odor resistance, it can often be worn multiple times between washes, especially for shorter activities.
What does 'no shoulder seams' and 'no side seams' mean for comfort?
These design features eliminate common points of friction and chafing that can occur with traditional seam placements, especially when wearing backpacks or other gear.
Is this base layer suitable for sensitive skin?
The blend includes soft Merino wool and is designed with flatlock seams to minimize irritation, making it generally comfortable for most skin types. However, individual sensitivities may vary.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is composed of 57% Merino wool and 43% Polypropylene (Lifa®).
Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a very gentle cycle and not exceeding the recommended water temperature. Avoid harsh detergents. Reshape and dry flat as instructed.
Reduced warmth or moisture-wicking ability
Check that the care instructions have been followed precisely. Residue from fabric softeners or incorrect washing can impede performance. Re-wash using a gentle cycle with appropriate detergent.
Chafing or discomfort
While designed for comfort, ensure the fit is correct for your body type. The flatlock seams and seamless construction minimize irritation, but a poor fit can still cause issues.
