FAQs

What is the primary function of this jacket?

The jacket is designed for everyday use, providing protection from wind and light weather with a comfortable and durable softshell construction.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

While it has DWR treatment and a membrane for water resistance, it is best suited for light rain or drizzle. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer shell is recommended.

What material is the jacket made from?

The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane (290 g/m²), providing stretch and durability.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash in warm water with mild soap, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the fabric's performance.

Can this jacket be layered with other clothing?

Yes, its streamlined fit makes it suitable for layering. It can be worn over a base layer and under a heavier waterproof jacket for added warmth and protection.

What does 'articulated sleeves' mean?

Articulated sleeves are designed with extra seams and shaping to allow for a greater range of motion in the arms and shoulders, improving comfort and flexibility during activity.

Are there other colors or sizes available for this model?

This guide specifically covers the Black, XL size. Other colors and sizes may be available; please check the product listing or Helly Hansen's official website for options.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently run a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Clean the teeth with a small brush if debris is present.

Jacket is losing its water repellency.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat. If repellency is still low, consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray or wash.

Seams are separating.

For minor separation, a fabric repair kit or a sewing machine can be used. For significant seam damage, contact customer support or a professional tailor.

Fleece lining feels rough or matted.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing. Gentle tumbling in a dryer on low heat can sometimes help restore softness.
