Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Daybreaker Half-Zip is an essential, versatile fleece designed for adult women who need a lightweight, comfortable layer for year-round activities. Whether you are navigating cool hiking trails, heading to the slopes, or relaxing by a campfire, this fleece provides a velvety, soft feel and reliable insulation. Please note that while it is highly breathable and excellent as a midlayer, it is not windproof, so you may need a shell in harsher weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
No, the Daybreaker is a breathable fleece designed for warmth and layering, not for blocking high winds.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
While it is technically a midlayer, the soft, velvety interior makes it comfortable against the skin if you prefer a slightly looser fit than standard base layers.
Does it have pockets?
This model does not feature hand pockets or chest pockets to keep the design lightweight and low-profile.
How do I choose the right size?
The Daybreaker fits true to size as a standard midlayer; if you prefer a looser fit for layering heavy sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.
Is the material recycled?
Yes, the garment is constructed with at least 95% recycled content and is bluesign certified.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for fabric stuck in the track and gently clear it. Applying a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant can restore smoothness.
Fleece losing its soft texture
Avoid using liquid fabric softeners. If the pile is matted, a gentle brushing with a soft nylon brush can help fluff the fibers back up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no special setup. To ensure longevity, machine wash the fleece on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical performance of the fleece fibers. Air drying is recommended to maintain the texture and shape of the garment, though tumble drying on a low setting is generally acceptable. Because of its moisture-wicking properties, it pairs exceptionally well with synthetic or merino wool base layers and is fully compatible with waterproof breathable outer shells.
