The Helly Hansen Lifa Max W women's baselayer pants are a performance baselayer, delivering light weight insulation and comfort for everyday use and high performance activitiessuch as hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or alpine skiing. They are made of quick-drying, breathable and lightweight Lifa® fibres. This garment is part of a layering system that provides comfort and warmth for your outdoor activities. Easy to layer, this base layer enables you to regulate your body temperature by wicking moisture away. This onion layering system is made of three types of clothing. The first layer, worn next-to-skin will provide warmth and quickly move moisture away from your skin. Then, the second layer, is the insulation or fleece, that provides warmth while also dissipating heat during periods of high output. And finally, the third layer, the shell, which is the most weather-protective layer, worn on the outside of all other layers.
