What is the Lifa Merino?
The Lifa Merino is very aptly named, as it's made from Lifa and Merino Wool! It combines these two insulative fabrics to provide a super warm, highly breathable, moisture-wicking layer for virtually any outdoor activity.
What is it made of?
This technical baselayer is unique in the fact that it's made using two different fabrics, one over the other. You've got Helly's own Lifa fabric next to skin with Merino Wool layered over the top. Lifa has been a staple fabric in Helly Hansen's baselayers since the birth of the company in 1970; it was the first fabric which actively moved moisture away from your skin and pushed it out to evaporate, therefore keeping you dry and comfortable. Not only is Lifa extremely breathable and moisture-wicking, but warm and comfortable thanks to the soft insulative fibres.
To add further warmth, Helly Hansen have layered Merino Wool over the top. Merino Wool is naturally odour-resistant, incredibly warm and temperature regulating, making this baselayer even more capable in freezing conditions. The wool Helly Hansen use is also incredibly fine, meaning it's not itchy like cheaper alternatives.
