FAQs
What is the main benefit of the softshell fabric?
The softshell fabric offers a good balance between breathability, wind resistance, and water repellency, making it suitable for active use in varied weather conditions.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, this jacket is designed to provide protection from wind and light rain due to its softshell construction and DWR treatment. It is not fully waterproof and is not intended for heavy downpours.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The jacket features adjustable cuffs and an adjustable hem with an elastic drawcord inside the hand pocket. Use these adjustments to achieve a snug fit that prevents drafts.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
Yes, you can layer this jacket over warmer base and mid-layers for cold weather. The softshell fabric provides a good outer shell against wind chill.
What does 'zip-in compatible' mean?
It means this jacket is designed with a zipper system that allows you to connect and zip it into specific compatible Helly Hansen mid-layers or fleece jackets, creating a more insulated and integrated system.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the fabric's protective treatments.
What are the reflective details for?
The reflective details are designed to increase your visibility to others in low-light conditions, enhancing safety during early morning, evening, or overcast weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can inhibit DWR performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels less windproof than before
Check for any tears or holes in the fabric or seams. Ensure all closures (zippers, cuffs, hem) are properly fastened. The membrane may be compromised if the jacket has been exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
