Full details

Its key benefit is a superior warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to recycled synthetic insulation that performs even when wet, offering a practical alternative to down.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the ECOLoft Air SR Insulation?
The ECOLoft Air SR Insulation offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and, crucially, maintains its insulating properties even when wet, unlike traditional down.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
This jacket provides significant warmth but is best suited for cool to moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold or heavy snowfall, layering with additional insulated pieces is recommended.
How does the relaxed fit affect sizing?
The relaxed fit is designed to allow for comfortable layering. If you prefer a more snug fit or do not plan to layer heavily, consider sizing down. Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for precise measurements.
What does 'PFC-free water repellent' mean?
It means the jacket has a water-repellent treatment that does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered harmful to the environment. This treatment helps water bead off the fabric's surface.
Can I wear this jacket in light rain?
Yes, the PFC-free water-repellent treatment will help protect you from light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation, a waterproof outer shell would be necessary.
How do I maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties?
After washing and drying, you can reapply a PFC-free waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment. Following the product's instructions for application will help restore the repellency.
What materials are used in the jacket?
The shell is 100% Polyamide, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the insulation is a blend of 60% Polyester and 40% Recycled Polyester (ECOLoft Air SR).
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as warm as expected
Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. The jacket's insulation is designed to work best with a base and mid-layer. Check that the insulation is evenly distributed; a gentle tumble dry with tennis balls can help redistribute clumps.
Water repellency seems reduced
The PFC-free treatment may need refreshing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable PFC-free waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
