FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy winter snow?

How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What does HELLY TECH Protection mean?
It is a proprietary technology that ensures the garment is fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable.
Are the reflectors always visible?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a spray-on DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is often due to internal condensation from body heat. Ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, ensure the main zipper is fully closed and the hood is adjusted properly before heading out into heavy rain. For cleaning, machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Always ensure that the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a closet. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish of the polyester shell.
