FAQs

What is HELLY TECH® Protection?

HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable barrier, keeping you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The Crew Midlayer Jacket 2.0 is a warm midlayer with fleece lining. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over additional insulating clothing and potentially use it as a component of a multi-layer system.

How do I know if I need to reapply DWR?

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's time to reactivate the DWR. Tumble drying often suffices, but a dedicated DWR spray or wash-in treatment may be necessary for full restoration.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features HELLY TECH® Protection and sealed seams, making it waterproof and suitable for heavy rain conditions.

What does 'Midlayer' mean in the product name?

'Midlayer' indicates that this jacket is designed to be worn as an insulating layer. It can be worn on its own in moderate conditions or over a base layer, and under a waterproof outer shell in very wet or cold weather.

How does the embroider-friendly zipper work?

The internal zipper provides direct access to the inside of the jacket's back panel. This allows custom embroidery to be applied without damaging the jacket's outer waterproof and breathable membrane.

What is the fit like?

The jacket features a regular fit, which is a classic cut designed for comfort and layering. It is not overly tight or baggy.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If performance has significantly degraded, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin wax) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fleece lining feels matted or loses warmth

This can occur with heavy use or improper washing. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying. Gentle washing and air drying can help maintain the loft.

Interior embroidery is affecting exterior appearance

Ensure the embroidery is applied correctly through the internal zipper access. Consult with a professional embroidery service experienced with technical apparel.

Pros and Cons

  • Practical features like adjustable cuffs and fleece-lined collar.
  • Ideal for team customization with its embroider-friendly design.

Cons

  • Classic fit may not appeal to those preferring a more athletic cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: As an apparel item, the jacket requires no technical setup. Ensure the zippers are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear for adults. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for added warmth. The internal zipper allows for compatibility with custom embroidery services.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can degrade the waterproof membrane. For best results, re-activate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing by tumble drying.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. If wrinkles are present, use a low-heat setting in the dryer.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before long-term storage.
