FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made from Polartec Recycled fleece, consisting of 92% Polyester and 8% Recycled Polyester.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides good warmth as a mid-layer or for cool to moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it under a waterproof and insulated outer jacket.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart and measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length. Pay attention to the fit description, as some items may have a slimmer or more relaxed cut. The XXXXL size is a very large fit.

Can this jacket be worn for casual use, or is it strictly workwear?

While designed with workwear features, the contemporary knitted look makes it suitable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather.

What does EN 14058 Class 1 mean?

EN 14058 is a European standard for protective clothing against cool environments. Class 1 indicates a specific level of thermal insulation and performance within that standard.

Are the hand pockets insulated?

Yes, the hand pockets feature a brushed lining for added warmth and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Fleece material appears matted or pilled.

This is a common characteristic of fleece, especially after washing or wear. Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled brush to help lift the fibers. Avoid excessive washing or high heat drying.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive in certain areas.

Check the size guide and ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider layering thinner base layers underneath rather than bulky ones. The articulated sleeves are designed for mobility, but fit can vary by individual body shape.
