FAQs
Is this set suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the combination of LIFA® wicking technology and Merino wool provides excellent warmth and moisture management, making it ideal for cold conditions like skiing and winter play.
How do I wash the Lifa Merino Midweight Set?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry.
Can this set be worn as outerwear?
No, this is a base layer designed to be worn next to the skin, under other clothing, to wick moisture and provide insulation.
What is LIFA® technology?
LIFA® is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that uses specialized fibers to pull moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Is the Merino wool ethically sourced?
The product description mentions ZQ wool, which is a certification standard for ethical and sustainable wool production, ensuring animal welfare and environmental responsibility.
What does 'solution-dyed' mean?
Solution dyeing is an environmentally friendly process where the color is added to the polymer melt before the fibers are extruded. This uses less water and energy compared to traditional dyeing methods.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The set should fit snugly against the skin like a second skin, without being restrictive. Check the brand's sizing guide for specific measurements for children's UK sizes.
Troubleshooting
Set feels itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions before the first wear. The fabric is designed to be non-itch, but initial washing can help soften the fibers. Check that the correct size is being worn to avoid constriction.
Moisture not wicking effectively
Verify that no fabric softeners or harsh detergents were used in washing, as these can clog the LIFA® fibers. Ensure the base layer is worn directly against the skin, not over other garments.
Garment pilling after washing
Merino wool can naturally pill over time. To minimize this, wash on a gentle cycle, use a wool-specific detergent, and lay flat to dry. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine.
