Helly Hansen Warm Freeze 1/2 Zip - Women's

HH never disappointes me
April 05, 2012

I just got my top and can't wait to wear it on my hiking trip upstate NY this Easter. Helly Hansen products are top notch and have never disappointed me. I usually wear XS or S but this top runs small. I would recommend a size up. The merino wools feels soft and the subtle design is so stylish! I highly recommend this top as well as Altrec. Altrec is one of the few online stores that offers a great variety of HH products at a great price!

nice top
March 04, 2010

This is a great top but runs very small. I normally wear a small but even the medium was tight. I would need a large in this top. The quality is very good. The fit is nice even if it runs small.

REALLY runs small!

I usually wear size small, so I hoped that the Medium in this top would work, given the reviews stating that it runs small. Unfortunately it runs extremely small, so it's going back. I'm giving it good ratings, though I never actually wore it or tested it out. The fabric feels almost like it could be polyester, though it's actually wool. It's a beautiful lightweight baselayer that could work easily as a top alone.

Love it!

Pros: Keeps me very warm, I can run in this top as a single layer in 30 degree temps. Soooo comfortable. Awesome fit! I had read earlier reviews regarding how they run on the smaller size, so I ordered a medium (I always wear a small - 5'5, 120lbs) and it was a perfect fit. Cons: Not many! It has to be hand washed with detergent for wool clothing. I don't necessarily like that. Also, there's an inside flap on the collar that kinda sticks up - looks wrong, so I just tacked it down with a needle and thread, but something to improve on. Overall, was happy with this top and ordered 2! I would order this again. I can't comment on long lasting...since I've only had it for a short time - I do hope it holds up!

Wooly Helly Hansen

This merino wool Helly Hansen is the perfect base or mid-layer for winter, spring, and fall activities. It is more lightweight than a fleece, but provides comparable warmth. The material is not itchy at all, and I have very sensitive skin. I wanted to use this as a mid-layer, with a long sleeve shirt underneath. I am 5' 8'' and 118# and usually take a size small or medium. In this shirt I purchased a large and the fit is perfect. I got the Ebony color, which is a charcoal gray with a subtle flower design. Love it!

Great Quality!!!!

I ordered this base layer top for skiing. Other reviews mentioned that it runs a little small, so I ordered a size larger than my usual medium and the Large fits perfectly. I usually have trouble with tops as I have a long torso and longer arms, but the length of the body and arms was absolutely perfect. The color is great and the material is not itchy at all!!! I can't wait to try it out on the hill! I like the top so much that I ordered a set of bottoms for both me and my husband....especially since Altrec had them all on sale! Can't go wrong with Helly Hanson!

Good shirt for the money

It is a good shirt. Size is smaller than usual, so you may want to one size up. Good for the snow as a base layer.

good baselayer

goog baselayer for cold weather activities. especially skiing. Keep in mind that it fits small.

Really nice looking and warm

It runs small and is a very fitted style, but I knew that from a previous Helly Hansen purchase, so I ordered a size up. The zipper style is my favorite---very versatile. Can't wait to wear it hiking and camping this fall and winter!

Love it!

I absolutely love this top! I have 3 of them. The purple is such a beautiful color that I wear it as a top instead of baselayer. I like the quality, warmth and comfort in addition to style. I would buy it in all the colors HH offers if I didn't have way too many tops.

Great top

this top is as warm as icebreaker or smart wool and is stylish and not boxy and longer than Icebreaker in the torso. The purple color is nice and the sleeve stripes are subtle.

Does the job

I have the mens version of this base layer. Wicks well, warm 1st layer. true to size. Neck could be a tad higher, and thumb loops like the hybrid version would be nice. Best dual layer merino base layer I have used so far.

The size S fits perfect with me i have a 27 waist and37 hip . The sizing was completly correct. I always use helly hansan for skiing. And I'm always happy with.

Great warm base layer

I purchased this shirt for my wife. I have always been very pleased with Helly Hansen Lifa fiber technology. This one, in addition to keeping you dry, keep you warm with the merino layer. Best warm base layer so far, perfect for all your winter activity... The body fits well, slim and long, like a base layer should. Arms are long but not too much. And my wife says it looks great...

I love these shirts...they look good by themselves or as undershirts and above all are so warm with the wool and poly mix. I added three to my collection!

running small and short

This is my first Helly Hansen base layer. I thought a size Small would fit me just fine but I was wrong (I wear size Small HH jacket).The shirt looks nice, but it runs short and small, not really stretchy.
