The Helly Hansen Daybreaker men's polar fleece half-zip sweater is a must-have for all the outdoor enthusiasts. It is made of Polartec recycled polyester micro fleece. Thanks to its versatility, this insulating layer will keep you warm during all seasons, whether on cooler summer evenings at the campsite or under your winter jacket to face cold weather. This garment can be worn as a standalone or as a mid layer in a layering system providing comfort and warmth enabling you to regulate your body temperature by wicking moisture away during your outdoor activities. This onion layering system is made of three types of clothing. The first layer, worn next-to-skin will provide warmth and quickly move moisture away from your skin. Then, the second layer, is the insulation or fleece, that provides warmth while also dissipating heat during periods of high output. And finally, the third layer, the shell, which is the most weather-protective layer, worn on the outside of all other layers.

I love this top. However after wearing it for an hour it smelt like strong body odour. I had had a shower before I put it in and I checked and I definitely did NOT smell. So then it led me to think Msybe someone had tried it in snd they’d had strong body odour snd just hung it back up. I can’t think of SNY other alternative. So then I had to take it off and wash it snd sanitise it before I’d wear it again. Just to be clear I’ve bought several items from Hallie Jensen and live the products but in this instance it was a huge disappointment.I hope you do something about this issue as it really is NOT pleasant.

It’s soft, warm, and comfy. Wear it as a lounging around shirt or a layer under coat. Quality is nice, but I would not go on a early season hunt/hike in the woods with this, it will tear/rip. Bought larger because the laundry fairy tends to shrink things. I wanted the same item that was in the picture as I bought the navy one. This one came to me as all navy with no white and red contrasted zipper. Checkout the difference. I too am kinda disappointed as another stated.

The Daybreaker fleece is lightweight and super warm under my waterproof jacket.I chose the grey ‘Concrete’ colour and it doesn’t get too hot in the full sun.A good fit and comfortable for me, looks good on and I know the quality is reliable and won’t let me down.

Disappointing this time around. Have been buying this particular fleece for some years now and ordered the same size. The sizing has changed, perhaps now that they are being made in an Asian country where people are generally smaller. I had to exchange it for a larger size and apart from the length of the sleeves, it was almost identical to the ones I sent back. The sleeves are now too long but the overall fit is acceptable. I loved these tops so I hope HH can get this rectified so we are able to shop with more confidence.
Great piece! I've always been a fan of HH and this lived up to my expectations. I have worn it several times. Very comfortable and warm. I tend to fall between large and extra large depending on which brand. I went with XL and it fits great.
Extremely warm fleece, great as a mid layer during these cold days. I've used mine whilst fishing, and it's kept me toasty. Washes well, and colour is good.Very soft feel.
These shorts are great quality, made very well and I'd say the fit is true to size for me at 32". The material seems to be very durable and doesn't crunch up.I like the clean design with just the back zip pocket but be aware there is no space for that huge ultra size mobile phone here.Very stylish and comfortable so I'm hoping they stand up to some rough outdoors action over the next year or so.
The Helly Hansen Men's Daybreak 1/2 zip fleece XL, fit perfect for 48 chest 53 shoulders. 5'-8" 190 lbs. Very light weight at 7.2 oz compared to many other fleece at 12 + oz. tried it out this morning, 43 degrees light wind along the coast and was just cool starting a walk but was perfect once I warmed up wearing over a thin hiking shirt. Sleeves are about 3 in past my wrists, not an issue. It's a perfect mid layer and breaths great as fleece does. Great price compared to so many other fleece products.
Nice material. Use as a sweater. Problem is HH size chart states a medium is good up to 41" chest. This top is said to be good to 40.5. I have a 41" chest ant the top is too tight. Material does not stretch. HH can do better.
I am very pleased with this garment. It is a perfect thin layer that is warm and comfortable.The shape of the garment is a great fit for my body type. It drapes nicely over the body, has slightly more length over the lower back, and the sleeves feel great too.The zipper cover is a nice touch that feels soft and non irritating on the face and neck when fully zipped.I’m usually a medium in tops (6”1 tall) however I got a large as per the size chart for my chest size. The fit is just right for me.Definitely worth every dollar.
