Helly Hansen Men's Lifa Merino Midweight 1/2 Zip Base Layer

Expensive as these HH are, I have tried to find alternatives but am having to still restock my wardrobe with them. Thats because I have not found another merino base layer which control sweating as well, nor another brand which protect the neck by pulling the zip all the way up. On days if I go out without carrying a snood but which later turns windy, the zipped neck feature is very desirable.Yes I have found & bought thicker merino and at cheaper price, but none with the above features.

Great comfy top and very warm.

Form fitting 225g base layer. The merino is the softest and most comfortable i've come acrosss. We normally pack a few base layers whilst away on our outdoor, climbing and trekking lifestyle.This one is made of a dual layer with the waffle-stitched merino fabric, to the outer. The hemming overall, is excellent, even and overlocked. The cold metal zip will not be felt on your skin, as it's lined with merino too.The fabric has a good amount of 'stretch' to it for added comfort for prolonged wear.I can recommend this merino base layer without reservation.

Great reliable brand which always does what it says on the tin. Merino wool really does its job at keeping you warm and its super soft. Good to note that the fabric is nicely softened without that itchy feel.The navy colour is very dark, almost black and the red is vibrant which really makes it stand out and look stylish.Fits as expected and has washed really well!This really has been amazing out on the cold winter morning cycles as this layer doubles up as a base layer and top underneath the waterproofs. No more feeling bulky. Half zip up has kept neck toasty too.Highly recommend.

Anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in the colder months, especially for exercise purposes should invest in this top. It offers the functionality of a base layer whilst also being enough to wear on its own for outdoors runs. I’ve found it has great moisture wicking capabilities and helps maintain body heat during the colder season. The material also dries rather quickly which again just aids comfort.In terms of the price, it is steep but you’re paying not only for the quality but for the name. If you’re already contemplating this item then price probably isn’t too much of an issue and I’d recommend it for any serious outdoors runners/cyclists. It’s a good investment that keeps away the winter chill!

Love these - nice and warm, very comfortable.I've worn it twice though, and the flashes (chevrons) on the sleeves are already peeling off. They're just stuck on plastic. I might have to just putt them all off, which is a shame. Otherwise it's 5*.

Good qualityproduct
