FAQs

What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?

Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is a Helly Hansen innovation that uses hollow fibers to transport moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Why is Merino Wool used in this base layer?

Merino Wool provides natural insulation, warmth even when wet, excellent breathability, and odor resistance, complementing the moisture-wicking properties of Lifa®.

Can I wear this crewneck on its own?

While it can be worn on its own, it is primarily designed as a base layer to be worn under other garments for optimal thermal regulation and moisture management.

How often should I wash this garment?

Wash as needed, following the care instructions. Frequent washing with gentle cycles will help maintain its performance. Avoid overwashing if not necessary to preserve the fibers.

What temperatures is this crewneck best suited for?

This crewneck is ideal for cold to very cold conditions, especially during high-intensity activities where staying dry is paramount. It might be too warm for moderate temperatures or low-activity pursuits in milder weather.

Is this garment suitable for sensitive skin?

The Merino Wool blend offers a softer feel compared to traditional wool, and the flatlock seams minimize irritation. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

Does this garment have UPF protection?

The product information does not specify UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. It is designed primarily for thermal regulation and moisture management.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels rough or stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the Lifa® and Merino fibers. Ensure the garment is dried flat and not exposed to high heat.

Moisture not wicking effectively

Check that the garment is not excessively dirty or has residue from harsh detergents. Ensure there are no blockages in the fabric structure by washing according to instructions. Avoid wearing cotton base layers underneath, as cotton retains moisture.

Seams causing irritation

While designed for comfort, individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight. Verify that the flatlock seams are intact and not damaged.
