Product Information
Full details
This Helly Hansen Reversible Down Jacket in black (Size S) is designed for adult males seeking versatile warmth and weather protection. Its key benefit lies in its reversible design offering two distinct looks and its natural down insulation for cold weather. A minor caveat is its water repellency, rated at a moderate level, meaning it's best suited for light rain or snow rather than heavy downpours. The jacket features recycled polyester, PFC-free materials, and RDS-certified down for sustainability.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and snow. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What does 'RDS certified' mean?
RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It means the down used in the jacket comes from animals that have been treated ethically and that the entire supply chain has been audited.
How do I care for the down insulation?
To maintain the down's loft and warmth, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
Yes, the natural down insulation provides excellent warmth and is suitable for cold fall and winter conditions.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features a total of four pockets: two zippered side pockets on each side (two when reversed).
What is the fit of this jacket?
The jacket has a regular fit, designed for comfortable layering over other clothing.
What materials are used in this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, with a lining also of 100% polyester. The insulation is 80% down and 20% feathers.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not drying properly
Ensure the jacket is not overloaded in the dryer. Use multiple dryer balls and continue tumbling on low heat until fully dry. The down may clump initially but should separate with continued drying.
Loss of water repellency
Reapply a PFC-free water-repellent spray designed for outdoor gear after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Down is escaping from seams
Gently pull the down back into the jacket from the inside. If excessive leakage occurs, contact customer support as it may indicate a seam issue.
