Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen HP Fleece Jacket is a versatile technical garment designed specifically for adult men who participate in inshore sailing or outdoor activities in cooler climates. This fleece provides an excellent balance of warmth and mobility thanks to its stretchable fabric construction, making it an ideal midlayer for extreme conditions or a standalone piece for milder days. While it offers superior comfort and movement, users should note that as a fleece, it is not inherently waterproof and may require a protective outer shell during heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the HP Fleece is designed for warmth and breathability, not as a waterproof barrier. It should be paired with a shell during rain.

Can I use this for winter sports?

Yes, its thermal properties and mobility make it an excellent midlayer for skiing or snowboarding when combined with a waterproof outer shell.

How should I store the jacket?

Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent permanent creasing.

Is the material windproof?

While the dense fleece structure offers some wind resistance, it is not fully windproof and should be covered if facing high winds.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, the design typically includes functional pockets for storing small essentials while active.

Troubleshooting

Pilling on the surface of the fleece

Pilling is common with fleece over time. Use a fabric shaver or a garment brush to carefully remove the pilled fibers without damaging the base material.

Garment feels damp or clammy

This usually indicates the fleece is saturated by external moisture. Ensure you are wearing a waterproof shell over the fleece if the conditions are rainy or involve heavy sea spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High degree of stretch for unrestricted movement
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Highly breathable material prevents overheating
  • Versatile design suitable for both sea and shore

Cons

  • Not windproof or waterproof
  • Requires an outer shell in heavy weather
  • Fleece material can attract lint if not washed properly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the fleece fabric, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic fibers.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild, non-bleach detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can coat the fibers and reduce the jacket's breathability.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible by laying the garment flat. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can degrade the elastic properties of the fabric over time.
  4. Compatibility: This jacket is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard sailing layering systems. It pairs best with breathable waterproof shells or windbreakers to provide a complete weather-protection system.
