Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip is a versatile, lightweight fleece designed for active adults who need a reliable midlayer for everything from mountain trails to casual evenings. It excels as a comfortable, moisture-wicking layer, though its lightweight construction means it is better suited for layering rather than serving as a heavy-duty outer shell in extreme wind or arctic conditions.

FAQs
Is the Daybreaker fleece windproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and warmth as a midlayer. It is recommended to pair it with a windproof or waterproof shell if you are in high-wind conditions.
Does this product contain recycled materials?
Yes, it is a bluesign certified item containing at least 95% recycled fibers.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While technically possible, it is designed primarily as a midlayer. It is best worn over a dedicated moisture-wicking base layer for optimal performance.
How should I wash this fleece to keep it soft?
Wash with similar colors in cold water and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce breathability.
Does the fleece have pockets?
No, the Daybreaker Half-Zip model does not feature integrated pockets to keep the silhouette clean and lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and use a silicone lubricant or graphite pencil lead on the zipper teeth to smooth movement.
Fabric looks slightly pilled after frequent use
Use a dedicated fabric shaver or a small comb to gently remove pills from the surface of the fleece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require special setup; simply pull on and adjust the half-zip as needed. For compatibility, the slim-but-comfortable fit works best with base layers worn underneath. To maintain the integrity of the fleece:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water to preserve the soft texture.
- Drying: Air dry is recommended to prevent excessive heat exposure, which can degrade synthetic fibers over time.
- Storage: Fold the fleece to maintain its shape, avoiding heavy hangers that may stretch the shoulder area over long periods.
