Its key benefit lies in its waterproof, breathable, and windproof construction combined with a fleece lining for insulation.

FAQs

What is Helly Tech® Protection?

Helly Tech® Protection is a technology that ensures the garment is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It's designed to protect you from the elements while allowing body moisture vapor to escape.

How do I find the "secret" zipper for customization?

The 'secret' zipper is located on the inside lining of the jacket, typically along the lower inner edge. It provides access to the jacket's panels for embroidery or other customizations.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold temperatures?

The jacket offers good warmth due to its fleece lining and windproof design, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, consider layering additional insulating garments underneath.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof and features sealed seams, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure to extreme downpours, a more robust waterproof outer shell might be necessary.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What is the difference between this and the older Crew Midlayer Jacket?

The main improvement in the 2.0 version is the removal of the plastic placard in the back yoke, while retaining the hangar loop. The core functionality and iconic look remain the same.

Can this jacket be worn by women?

While designed with a men's fit, some women may find the jacket suitable depending on their preferred fit and layering style. It's recommended to check the size chart carefully.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively

Wash the jacket with a specialized technical cleaner and then apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure all zippers are closed and Velcro is fastened before washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a zipper-specific lubricant to the teeth.

Reduced warmth from fleece lining

Ensure the fleece lining is clean and free from debris, as dirt can mat the fibers and reduce insulation. Follow care instructions for washing and drying.

Difficult to access internal customization zipper

Locate the inner lining of the jacket. The "secret" zipper is typically found along the bottom inner edge, allowing access to the inside of the jacket panels for embroidery.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance.
  • Warm and comfortable due to fleece lining.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding conditions.
  • Practical sailing-specific features like sealed seams and adjustable fit.
  • Customization option with the embroider-friendly zipper.

Cons

  • The 'secret' zipper for customization may not be immediately obvious.
  • Primarily designed for male fit, which may not suit all body types.
  • Relies on Helly Tech® Protection, which is a mid-level waterproofing technology.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. The "secret" zipper for embroidery access is located on the inside of the jacket lining. To access it, you will typically need to locate a secondary zipper pull within the jacket's inner lining, often near the hem.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult males and is available in various sizes (e.g., L, XL, XXL) and colors. It is compatible with layering over base or mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash with mild detergent in cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as it can degrade the waterproof membrane.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Reproofing: Periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to maintain its water-resistant properties, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment.
