Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Vancouver Rain Jacket is designed for adult men seeking a versatile, waterproof, and breathable outer layer for both urban commutes and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in the HELLY TECH® Protection technology, offering reliable weather defense. A minor caveat is its 2-layer construction, which may be less breathable than higher-end 3-layer jackets during strenuous activity. This jacket features a durable polyester construction, full seam-sealing, an adjustable hood and hem, and secure zippered hand pockets, ensuring comfort and functionality.

FAQs

What is HELLY TECH® Protection?

HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's waterproof and breathable technology, designed to keep you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside during various outdoor activities.

How do I clean the Vancouver Rain Jacket?

Machine wash on a mild cycle at 40°C with zippers closed. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Vancouver Rain Jacket is a waterproof shell. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warm mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.

What materials is the jacket made of?

The outer fabric is 100% polyester, the lining is 100% polyester, and a second lining (likely in the hood or upper body) is 100% polyamide.

Does the jacket have a removable hood?

The jacket features an adjustable hood, but it is not explicitly stated as removable in the product description.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 550.0 grams.

Are the seams sealed?

Yes, the jacket features fully sealed seams to ensure complete waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and check that zippers are fully closed. For older jackets, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stuck, use a graphite pencil to rub the teeth of the zipper, or apply a small amount of wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can occur if the garment's breathability is overwhelmed by high activity or humidity. Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Check if the garment needs cleaning, as dirt and oils can impede breathability.
