FAQs
What type of fleece is used in this garment?
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker 1/2 Zip Fleece uses Polartec fleece, known for its durability, warmth, and breathability.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a fleece mid-layer and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and is best layered under a waterproof or water-resistant outer shell for full weather protection.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's apparel. This model is described as 'XL', indicating a specific size within their range.
Can this fleece be worn on its own in mild weather?
Yes, in mild, dry conditions, the fleece can be worn on its own. Its breathability makes it comfortable for active use.
Does the logo cause irritation?
The HH logo is embroidered on the chest. The flatlock seams are designed to minimize bulk and chafing, and the embroidery is generally smooth, but individual sensitivity may vary.
What are the main benefits of the 1/2 zip design?
The 1/2 zip allows for easy ventilation and quick adjustment of temperature. You can zip it up for warmth or unzip it to cool down without removing the entire garment.
Troubleshooting
Fleece pilling after washing
Reduce agitation by washing on a gentle cycle with fewer items. Avoid high heat drying. For existing pilling, a fabric shaver can be used carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently run the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth if the issue persists.
Garment feels less warm than expected
Check that all layers are properly integrated. Ensure the fleece is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce its insulating and wicking capabilities. If used as a standalone piece, consider adding a windproof outer layer.
