Product Information
Full details
This Helly Hansen Lifa Merino Crewneck is designed for adult males seeking a base layer that offers excellent moisture management and warmth during strenuous activity in cold conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of LIFA fibers for dryness and Merino wool for insulation, ensuring comfort without the bulk. A potential caveat is that the primary material blend may not be suitable for extremely sensitive skin due to the polypropylene content, though the flatlock seams aim to mitigate irritation.

Garment losing shape after washing
