FAQs
What is Lifa® Stay Warm Technology?
Lifa® Stay Warm Technology is Helly Hansen's proprietary synthetic fiber system designed to provide excellent moisture management. It pushes sweat away from the body to the outer layers, keeping the skin dry and comfortable.
How does Merino wool contribute to the performance?
Merino wool offers natural insulation, keeping you warm even when wet. It also has inherent odor-resistant properties and is soft against the skin, contributing to overall comfort.
Can I wear this for everyday activities, not just high-exertion sports?
Yes, while optimized for high activity, it can be worn for less strenuous activities in cold weather. However, it might be too warm for indoor use or mild conditions.
Is this garment suitable for sensitive skin?
The blend of Lifa® and Merino wool, combined with flatlock seams and no shoulder/side seams, makes it generally comfortable for most skin types. Merino wool is known for its fine fibers which are less likely to irritate than traditional wool.
What is the weight of the fabric?
The fabric weight is 215 g/m², which is a mid-weight suitable for cold conditions.
How do I ensure I select the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Helly Hansen base layers. Ensure a snug, next-to-skin fit for optimal performance. The garment should not feel restrictive.
What is the fiber content of this garment?
The main fabric consists of 57% Merino wool and 43% Polypropylene.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels less effective at wicking moisture
Ensure you are following the specific care instructions, especially regarding detergent and wash temperature. Fabric softeners can impede moisture-wicking properties.
Skin irritation or chafing
Verify that the size is correct and not too tight. While designed with flatlock seams, ensure no debris is trapped in the seams. This is less common due to the seam design.
Garment loses shape after washing
Avoid tumble drying and always dry flat. High heat and tumbling can damage the fibers and affect the garment's fit and performance.
