Fabric & Construction
We engineered the Clique Helsa men’s half zip using a 88% polyester, 12% spandex interlock knit that offers four-way stretch without sacrificing shape retention. The tight knit structure wicks perspiration away from skin while maintaining breathability during high-output activities.
Flatlock seams lie completely flat against the body to prevent chafing during extended wear. Our raglan sleeve design eliminates traditional shoulder seams, allowing unrestricted overhead motion whether you’re lifting weights or reaching for the top shelf. The locking quarter-zip features a durable coil construction rated for 5,000+ cycles.
Sizing & Fit
This pullover follows our athletic fit profile—tailored through the torso with enough room for a base layer underneath. We recommend ordering your standard size for a close-to-body fit that layers well, or sizing up one if you prefer a relaxed silhouette.
The Clique Helsa men’s half zip measures 28 inches from high point shoulder to hem in size medium. Sleeves are cut long to maintain coverage during active movement, with thumbholes to keep cuffs in place. The high collar sits comfortably against the neck when fully zipped, offering wind protection without restriction.
Care Instructions
Machine wash the Clique Helsa men’s half zip in cold water with like colors. We recommend using liquid detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of performance fabrics.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. The polyester-spandex blend resists wrinkles naturally, so ironing is rarely necessary. If needed, use the lowest heat setting and avoid the reflective logo. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Questions About the Helsa Men’s Half Zip
The Clique Helsa men’s half zip features a longer zipper that extends to mid-chest, offering more ventilation control than our quarter zip. Both share the same fabric, flatlock construction, and athletic fit, but the half zip provides additional temperature regulation for high-intensity activities.
The quarter zip model has a slightly higher collar and is designed primarily as a lightweight base layer, while the half zip functions equally well as an outer layer or mid-layer piece.
While the Clique Helsa men’s half zip has a refined appearance, it’s cut as athletic wear with performance fabric that may show texture under a suit jacket. We recommend it for casual or business-casual environments rather than formal settings.
For office layering, pair it with chinos or dress pants in more relaxed workplaces. The fitted silhouette and clean lines work well in casual professional contexts.
Our polyester-spandex blend is engineered specifically for moisture management. The interlock knit construction pulls perspiration away from skin and disperses it across the fabric surface for rapid evaporation.
During moderate to intense workouts, you’ll notice the fabric stays relatively dry to the touch even when you’re sweating heavily. The anti-microbial treatment also prevents odor buildup between washes.
The Clique Helsa men’s half zip runs true to size in our athletic fit profile. If you prefer a close-to-body fit for layering or solo wear, order your standard size. If you want a more relaxed fit or plan to layer over thicker base layers, we recommend sizing up one size.
The four-way stretch fabric provides some accommodation, but the tailored cut is designed to follow your natural shape rather than hang loose.
The reflective Helsa logo is heat-bonded to the fabric and rated for 100+ wash cycles without significant degradation. We’ve tested it extensively in commercial and home washing machines.
To maximize longevity, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low. Avoid high heat and abrasive detergents. Even after extended use, the reflective properties remain effective for visibility during low-light activity.
The Clique Helsa men’s half zip is primarily designed for cool to moderate temperatures—roughly 40°F to 70°F. The moisture-wicking fabric and quarter-zip ventilation make it functional in warmer conditions, but it’s not as breathable as our lightweight performance tees.
For hot-weather training, we recommend pairing it with our short-sleeve base layers or opting for our mesh-panel training tops designed specifically for high-heat performance.
Yes, the Clique Helsa men’s half zip features integrated thumbholes at the cuffs. These keep sleeves in place during dynamic movement and provide additional hand coverage in cold conditions.
The thumbholes are reinforced with bar-tack stitching to prevent stretching. You can easily tuck your thumbs out when you don’t need the extra coverage.
