Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Kensington Knit Fleece Jacket (XXL, Grey) is designed for adult males seeking a stylish yet functional layer for moderate to cool conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a contemporary knitted look with the warmth and durability of Polartec Recycled fleece. A potential caveat is that it's a mid-layer, requiring other garments for extreme cold or wet weather.

FAQs
What is Polartec Recycled fleece?
Polartec Recycled fleece is a fabric made from post-consumer recycled polyester, reducing waste and environmental impact. It offers excellent warmth and breathability.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer for insulation and warmth and should be paired with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
As a mid-layer, it provides significant warmth. For very cold weather, layering it over a base layer and under a windproof/waterproof outer jacket is recommended.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.
What does EN 14058 Class 1 mean?
EN 14058 is a European standard for protective clothing against cool environments. Class 1 indicates a level of performance for thermal insulation in such conditions.
Are there other color options available?
This guide specifically covers the Grey - XXL variant. Other color and size options may be available from the manufacturer.
Why are there no shoulder or side seams?
The absence of shoulder and side seams is a design choice to enhance comfort by reducing potential points of irritation or chafing, especially during movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive
Verify you have selected the correct size. If the jacket is the correct size, the articulation may need time to conform to your body shape. Ensure no bulky layers are underneath.
Fleece pilling after washing
This can occur with fleece materials. Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (gentle cycle, cold water, avoid harsh detergents). Consider using a garment bag for washing.
