Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Workwear UC-ME Winter Jacket is designed for adult males working in demanding winter conditions, offering superior warmth, mobility, and high visibility. Its key benefit is combining robust protection with functional design for enhanced worksite performance. A potential caveat is its specific certification class which may require additional layers for extreme cold, though it meets EN 342 standards. This jacket features lightweight yet warm insulation, articulated sleeves, a helmet-compatible hood, and multiple YKK zippered pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the UC-ME Winter Jacket?

The jacket is designed for winter worksite performance, prioritizing high visibility, protection from cold and rain, and mobility for adult workers.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket meets EN 342 cold protection standards, but for extremely low temperatures, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.

Can I wear a hard hat or helmet with this jacket's hood?

Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible and features vertical and horizontal adjustments for a secure fit over most standard work helmets.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C max) with similar colors, closing zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners. Do not bleach or use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat to restore water repellency.

What does 'EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3' mean?

This certification indicates the highest level of visibility required for protective clothing, ensuring the wearer is conspicuous in hazardous environments.

Are the insulation materials eco-friendly?

The insulation in the sleeves and body is made from 100% Recycled Polyester, and the product is bluesign® approved and PFC-free.

Where can I find alternative sizes or colors?

This guide focuses on the Yellow, Size M variant. Please check product listings for available sizes and colors, as Helly Hansen often offers multiple options.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. If needed, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth.

Reduced water repellency

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. If issues persist after drying, consider using a professional re-waterproofing spray suitable for polyester.

Fit is too loose or too tight

Adjust the elastic drawcord at the hem inside the hand pocket and the adjustable cuffs to achieve a snug fit. For overall fit, consult the sizing chart before purchase or consider alternative sizes.

Reflective stripes appear damaged

Inspect the stripes for any physical damage. Follow care instructions strictly to maintain the integrity of the reflective material over time. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or excessive abrasion.
