Helly Hansen Vancouver Rain Jacket - Blue - L

The Vancouver Rain Jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. While it's a great shell layer, it does not offer significant insulation on its own. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating garments underneath.

After washing and drying the jacket, you can apply a PFC-free DWR spray or use a DWR wash-in product. Follow the specific instructions on the DWR product you choose. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before use.

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle (30°C). Use a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

'PFC-free' means the jacket has been treated without using perfluorinated compounds, which are often found in water-repellent finishes but can be harmful to the environment. This indicates a more environmentally conscious manufacturing process.

Helly Tech® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier. It's designed to keep you dry from the outside while allowing moisture from the inside (like sweat) to escape.

Yes, the hood is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and rain. The hem is also adjustable.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried afterwards.

Gently try to move the zipper. If still stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a graphite pencil tip) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Ensure the inner lining is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Check that any vents or openings are not obstructed.
