Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Ace Rain Jacket is an essential outerwear piece for urban dwellers and daily commuters who require reliable wet-weather protection without sacrificing style. Engineered with Helly Tech Performance technology, this jacket offers a high level of waterproofing and breathability to keep you dry during light drizzle or heavy downpours. While it excels in city environments, it is primarily designed as a protective shell, meaning it lacks integrated insulation for extremely cold climates, requiring layering for year-round utility.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always consult the care label inside the garment for specific temperature settings.
Does the Ace Rain Jacket have a liner?
It features a 2-layer construction designed to balance protection and comfort, providing a smooth interior feel without added heavy insulation.
Can I wear this in winter?
The jacket is not insulated, so it is best used as a waterproof shell. In cold weather, you should wear thermal layers underneath to stay warm.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may want to consider sizing up.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are secure and zippered, but they are not fully seam-sealed 'waterproof' pockets; store sensitive electronics in a waterproof sleeve within the pocket.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reactivation by tumbling the jacket on low heat or applying a technical fabric re-waterproofing spray.
Difficulty zipping the main fastener
Check the zipper track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth; gently clean with a soft brush and ensure the slider is aligned properly.
Condensation buildup inside the jacket
Ensure you are using breathable base layers underneath and adjust the cuffs or hood to improve airflow ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Helly Hansen Ace Rain Jacket, proper care is essential. Since the jacket uses technical fabric, wash it in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can strip the waterproof coating. To maintain the jacket's water-repellency (DWR), tumble dry on a low setting occasionally to reactivate the outer layer. If you plan on using this during colder months, ensure you have enough room underneath to wear a fleece or a light synthetic base layer, as the jacket fits true to size as a standard outer shell.
