The Helly Hansen Manchester 2.0 Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking durable, everyday wear with moderate weather protection. Its key benefit is a combination of wind and weather resistance with a comfortable, streamlined fit, suitable for various activities. A potential caveat is that it offers protection but is not fully waterproof, making it best for light rain or wind rather than heavy downpours. This versatile jacket features softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR treatment, a brushed fleece inner collar for comfort, and articulated sleeves for enhanced mobility.

No, the jacket is not fully waterproof. It features a water-resistant membrane and DWR treatment, offering protection against wind and light rain or snow. For heavy or prolonged precipitation, a fully waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
The main fabric is a softshell blend consisting of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, with a weight of 290 g/m².
The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth from its softshell fabric and fleece-lined collar. For colder conditions, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers.
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
It means this jacket is designed with a zipper system that allows it to be attached to compatible Helly Hansen inner jackets or liners, creating a combined system for enhanced warmth and weather protection.
Yes, the jacket features two hand pockets, both equipped with YKK zippers for secure closure.
The extended back provides additional coverage and comfort, especially when bending, reaching, or sitting, helping to keep you warmer and prevent drafts.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or crayon) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider.
Wash the jacket following care instructions, and then apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product. Ensure the garment is clean before applying DWR.
Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can damage fleece. Check for any snags or pulls that might be causing irritation.
Adjust the hem drawcord and cuff straps for a more customized fit. If the overall fit is not satisfactory, consider if a different size or style might be more suitable.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as standalone outerwear but features a zip-in compatibility, meaning it can potentially be zipped into compatible Helly Hansen mid-layers or shells for added warmth and protection, depending on the specific compatible garment.
