This hoodie is primarily engineered for warm and sunny conditions; while it can be used for layering, its main benefit is moisture management and sun protection, not thermal insulation.
The UPF 50+ is built into the fabric construction. With proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive heat—the protection remains effective for the life of the garment.
While the material is quick-drying, it is optimized for perspiration management during land or deck-based activities rather than prolonged submersion in chlorinated pools.
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying.
Helly Hansen's regular fit is designed for freedom of movement without being overly baggy. If you prefer a tight, compression-like fit, you may want to consider sizing down.
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable outer layer that traps moisture. Use the hoodie as your primary base or mid-layer to allow the fabric to vent properly.
Wash immediately after heavy use. If odors persist, use a specialized sports detergent designed to strip oils from synthetic polyester fabrics.
The Solen Hoodie requires minimal setup; simply select your size based on your standard shirt measurements for the desired regular fit. To ensure the longevity of the moisture-wicking fabric and the effectiveness of the UPF 50+ coating, wash the hoodie in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores of the technical fibers and reduce their moisture-wicking efficiency. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the garment's shape and prevent excessive wear from heat in the dryer.
