FAQs

What makes this jacket 'Ocean Bound'?

The jacket is made with recycled materials that are collected within 50 km of a coast or major waterway in areas at risk of plastic pollution, helping to prevent waste from entering the ocean.

How do I ensure the best waterproof performance?

Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and reactivate the DWR finish periodically. Ensure cuffs and hood are adjusted correctly.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

This jacket is designed primarily for protection against water and wind. For extreme cold, layering with insulated clothing underneath is recommended.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than sailing?

Yes, its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for various outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, or general use in wet weather.

What is the benefit of AquaGuard® cuffs?

AquaGuard® cuffs are adjustable and designed to create a secure seal around your wrists, preventing water from entering the sleeves.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or in damp conditions, which can degrade the fabric over time. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash and then reactivate the DWR with heat (ironing or tumble drying on low).

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

The breathable membrane might be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring a thorough rinse.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper to restore smooth operation. Ensure the zipper is fully closed before washing.

Reflective material is peeling or damaged.

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing and drying. If damage has occurred, it may not be repairable and can affect visibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various sizes for adult males. Refer to the Helly Hansen size chart for the most accurate fit. The jacket is designed with a regular fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash in lukewarm water (around 40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane.
