Helly Hansen Base Layer Review
- by Cathy Houghton
At Active Workwear, we stock a wide range of Helly Hansen work clothing.
It’s a brand that has a lot to offer when it comes to quality, practicality, durability, and more!
The Helly Hansen base layers are particularly popular due to their versatility, flexibility, comfort, and style.
The Helly Hansen brand is always at the cutting edge when it comes to innovative new designs and workwear that continually protects.
Using technical advancements as well as tried and tested techniques, the Helly Hansen range has never faltered in the high level of quality they provide.
Lifa
The HH Lifa Merino Wool base layer garments are renowned across a variety of sectors, due to the material of the clothing being able to wick away moisture.
Transporting heat and sweat away from the body, this technology helps to ensure that you don’t overheat or indeed catch a chill when it’s wet.
This technology is ultimately what makes up the HH Trademark, Lifa.
Merino Wool Base Layers
It is the merino wool in the HH workwear garments that provide warmth and comfort. Providing you with all-round warmth, as well as these base layers being suitable to be worn under Helly Hansen jackets and waterproofs – proving their versatility.
The merino wool also provides a smooth feel, moving with you in a completely non-restrictive way.
These thermal base layers are slimming and often found to be a tight fit, so it’s essential to be aware when choosing the right size for you.
The subtlety of the HH logos across all Helly Hansen UK clothing is praised by many for not being too stand out and emblazoned across garments. Allowing for personal branding to be added if required.
These base layers are also lightweight and suitable as a stand-alone item of workwear or as part of your layering up options in colder weather.
(Don’t forget, in colder weather conditions, it is recommended to layer up rather than bulk up!)
The merino base layer also washes well, is breathable, and is suitable for a variety of situations.
What’s more, with the merino wool on the exterior and the Lifa technology on the interior, you’ll find that this is not an itchy fabric, but rather comfy and warm on the skin.
Offering you quick-drying, these thermal base layers work with your body temperature, keeping you warm when you feel the cold, and cool when you start to sweat.
