FAQs
What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?
Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is a Helly Hansen proprietary fabric that uses hollow fibers to trap air and wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and warm during physical activity.
Can I wear this base layer for everyday activities?
While effective for daily wear in cold weather, this base layer is specifically engineered for high-intensity activities. For casual use, you might find other garments more suitable depending on the temperature and activity level.
How often should I wash this base layer?
Wash after each significant use, especially if you've experienced heavy sweating, to maintain hygiene and fabric performance. Always follow the care label instructions.
Will Merino Wool make me itchy?
High-quality Merino Wool, like that used by Helly Hansen, is known for its fine fibers which are generally soft and non-itchy. The blend with Lifa® also contributes to comfort.
Is this garment suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the combination of Lifa® and Merino Wool is designed to provide excellent insulation and moisture management, making it suitable for very cold conditions when engaged in high-intensity activities.
Can I wear multiple base layers?
This garment is designed as a primary base layer. Wearing multiple insulating layers on top is recommended for colder temperatures, but avoid wearing multiple moisture-wicking base layers, as this can hinder performance.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The fabric composition is 57% Merino and 43% Polypropylene, with a weight of 215 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Base layer feels damp after activity
Ensure the garment is worn directly against the skin to maximize wicking. Verify that the outer layers are not preventing moisture vapor from escaping. Check that the garment is not overloaded with excessive sweat from extremely prolonged high-intensity output.
Skin irritation or chafing
Confirm that the garment is the correct size and not too tight. The flatlock and seamless construction minimizes irritation, but ensure seams are properly aligned and not bunched up.
Garment loses warmth or wicking ability
Follow the specific care instructions precisely. Using fabric softeners or harsh detergents can degrade the performance of the Lifa® and Merino fibers. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
