Embrace sunny adventures in our Solen half-zip top, with UPF 50+ sun protection and lightweight, wicking LIFA® ACTIVE technology
Helly Hansen says:
We designed this top to give you sun protection and comfort on hot days. It’s ideal for any adventure with long sun exposure, including sailing, spring skiing, hiking and beyond. As a part of our Solen collection, it combines two technologies. The S.Café® process infuses the fabric with used coffee grounds, giving it UPF 50+ sun protection without the use of chemicals. S.Café® is also quick-dry, odor-resistant and durable. Our LIFA® ACTIVE technology is excellent at wicking – moving moisture away from your skin so you stay dry.
Our Verdict
Helly Hansen has brought sustainable innovation to sun protection with its Lifa Active Solen 1/2 Zip top. The fabric utilises the brand's S.Café® technology, which infuses the fibres with recycled coffee grounds to provide UPF 50+ sunblocking without harsh chemical treatments.
Paired with Helly's tried-and-true Lifa Active fabric interior, this half-zip does an exceptional job pulling sweat away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable in hot conditions. We found the slim, athletic fit allowed uninhibited mobility on challenging scrambles and tough trail runs without excess fabric flapping.
