LIFALOFT™ – LIGHTWEIGHT INSULATION, MAXIMUM WARMTH
LIFALOFT™ is Helly Hansen’s proprietary lightweight insulation technology, developed in collaboration with PrimaLoft®, a global leader in performance insulation.

It’s designed to keep you warmer with less bulk, making it ideal for active pursuits in cold environments where lightweight performance matters most.


WHAT MAKES LIFALOFT™ DIFFERENT?
LIFALOFT™ is built using LIFA® fibres, which inherently absorb less moisture than standard polyester insulation. This results in:

  • Lighter weight insulation

  • More warmth with less bulk

  • Better breathability during high-output activity

  • Improved performance in wet conditions

Compared to traditional polyester insulation, LIFALOFT™ provides the same warmth at 20% less weight — making it a go-to choice for layering, travelling, and high-intensity winter sports.


WHY CHOOSE LIFALOFT™?
✔ Retains heat even when wet
✔ Lightweight and highly compressible
✔ Ideal for layering under shells or packing for travel
✔ Designed to perform across a wide range of climates and activities
✔ Less environmental impact due to reduced fibre weight and water absorption


WHO IS LIFALOFT™ FOR?
LIFALOFT™ is built for:

  • Skiers and snowboarders

  • Alpine climbers

  • Active travellers

  • Anyone who wants maximum warmth with minimum bulk

It’s especially suited for aerobic activities in cold weather, when staying warm without overheating or restricting movement is essential.


LIFALOFT™ CARE TIPS
To extend the life and performance of your LIFALOFT™ garment:

  • Machine wash cold with like colours

  • Avoid fabric softeners

  • Tumble dry on low or air dry

  • Always follow the specific care label instructions

Proper care keeps the insulation lofted and performing season after season.
