FAQs
What makes the Helly Tech® Protection significant?
Helly Tech® Protection is a proprietary technology that makes the fabric waterproof, windproof, and breathable, ensuring you stay dry from the outside elements and comfortable from perspiration on the inside.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can wear a fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water (30°C) using liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is not detachable, but it is packable and can be stored within the collar when not in use.
What does 'articulated elbows and shoulders' mean?
This refers to the jacket's construction, where the fabric is shaped and sewn to allow for greater flexibility and a natural range of motion in the elbow and shoulder joints.
What is the benefit of the YKK® Vislon® zipper?
This type of zipper is known for its durability and resistance to saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for marine environments.
What size should I order?
Please refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide focuses on product features and use, not specific sizing recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or water beads less effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a new DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and fresh water to remove any salt or debris. Lubricate with a beeswax-based product or a silicone lubricant designed for zippers.
Inner lining feels clammy or wet
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and that any DWR treatment is intact. Ensure you are not overheating; the jacket's breathability is optimized during active use.
