Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip is a versatile, lightweight fleece designed for active women who need a reliable midlayer for hiking, skiing, or casual outdoor lounging. Crafted from soft, velvety material, it provides essential warmth without added bulk, making it an ideal year-round staple. While it excels at comfort and layering, users should note that as a lightweight fleece, it is not a windproof or waterproof outer shell, meaning it performs best when combined with protective gear in extreme weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is a lightweight fleece and does not feature a windproof membrane. It is best used as a midlayer under a windproof shell.
Can I put this in the dryer?
While it can be tumble dried on low, air drying is highly recommended to extend the lifespan of the fabric and maintain its soft texture.
Is the material stretchy?
The fleece material offers a natural amount of give that accommodates movement, but it is not a high-compression or high-spandex fabric.
What does the bluesign certification mean?
It means the product was manufactured with strict environmental and safety standards, ensuring minimal impact on people and the planet.
Is the fit true to size?
The Daybreaker features a classic fit. If you prefer to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the YKK track; if debris is present, gently clean the track with a soft brush.
Pilling on the surface after washing
Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or clothing with Velcro; use a garment bag if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: There is no setup required; simply wear the garment as part of your layering system. For best results, pair it with a synthetic or merino wool base layer to effectively manage moisture.
Compatibility: This fleece is compatible with most standard outdoor shells, windbreakers, and parkas. Because it is a slim-profile piece, it will fit easily under fitted technical jackets without compromising range of motion.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the fleece fibers, wash in a machine on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the performance of the fleece. It is recommended to air dry the garment to prevent potential shrinkage and to keep the fabric soft over time.
