FAQs
What is HELLY TECH® Protection?
HELLY TECH® Protection is a technology that makes the garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It is designed for a wide range of outdoor activities in moderate conditions.
How do I reapply the DWR treatment?
After washing and drying, you can reactivate the existing DWR by tumble drying on low heat. For a more robust treatment, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR product designed for waterproof outerwear, following the product's specific instructions.
Can I wear this jacket in freezing temperatures?
The jacket itself provides wind and water protection, and the fleece collar/pockets add some warmth. For freezing temperatures, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath.
What does 'fully sealed seams' mean?
Fully sealed seams mean that tape has been applied over every stitch on the inside of the garment. This prevents water from entering through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofing.
Is this jacket suitable for high-exertion activities?
Yes, the jacket is breathable and designed for freedom of movement with articulated elements, making it suitable for activities with moderate to high exertion. For very intense activities, ensure you layer appropriately to manage sweat.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs approximately 600.0 grams.
Can this jacket be customized with a logo?
Yes, the jacket is embroidery compatible, allowing for easy customization with logos or other designs.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)
The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on low heat. If effectiveness is still low, reapply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester waterproof fabrics.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the HELLY TECH® membrane. Wash using appropriate detergent and rinse thoroughly. Also, ensure any inner layers are moisture-wicking, not cotton.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with water and a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to improve glide. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Fit is too loose
Adjust the cuffs using the hook-and-loop fasteners and tighten the drawstring hem to create a more snug fit and seal out drafts.

Cons
- Regular fit might be too loose for users preferring a more tailored look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As an apparel item, the Helly Hansen Crew 2.0 Jacket requires no setup. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general use in various conditions. It is compatible with layering over mid-layers like fleece or thermal base layers for added warmth. The embroidery compatibility allows for customization with logos or names.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before washing.
- Detergent: Use a liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor gear or a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and stain removers, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Once dry, you can tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment. If DWR needs reapplication, use a reproofing spray or wash-in product according to its instructions, often followed by heat activation.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight for extended periods.
