FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a water-resistant membrane and DWR treatment, providing protection against light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What temperature is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather. It offers wind protection and some warmth but is designed to be layered for colder conditions. For very cold weather, consider adding an insulated mid-layer or a heavier outer jacket.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with a half dose of detergent, without fabric softener. Close all zippers before washing. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, fabric softener should not be used as it can degrade the fabric's performance and the DWR treatment.

What does 'Zip-in compatible' mean?

'Zip-in compatible' means the jacket has a zipper system that allows it to be attached to specific Helly Hansen inner jackets or liners, creating a combined, warmer garment.

How can I improve the water repellency if it starts to fade?

After washing and tumble drying, if water repellency has diminished, you can reapply a DWR treatment spray designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product's instructions for application.

Are the reflective details effective in low light?

Yes, the reflective details are designed to reflect light from sources like headlights, significantly increasing visibility in dawn, dusk, and nighttime conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket does not feel windproof

Verify that all zippers are fully closed and cuffs/hem are adjusted tightly. Ensure the DWR treatment is intact; reapply if necessary following care instructions.

Reduced water repellency

Wash the jacket following the care instructions and tumble dry on low heat. If repellency is still poor, consider applying a DWR treatment spray suitable for technical outerwear.

Stiffness after washing

Tumble dry on low heat as recommended. Avoid over-drying. If still stiff, a brief tumble dry with a damp cloth can sometimes help restore softness.
