FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it uses HELLY TECH Protection, which is fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

Can I use this jacket in the winter?

The fleece lining provides good warmth for moderate winter temperatures or transitional seasons, but it may require an additional base layer for extreme cold.

How do I add my team logo to the jacket?

The jacket features an internal embroidery-friendly zipper that allows for easy access for professional branding.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable, but please follow the specific care label instructions regarding temperature and detergent types.

What does the 'midlayer' classification mean?

It means the jacket is designed to be worn over base layers and can act as an outer layer in mild conditions or under a heavier shell in extreme conditions.

Are the cuffs adjustable?

Yes, the cuffs are adjustable to help seal out wind and water.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleanser and reapply a DWR spray treatment.

Interior feels damp after heavy rain.

Ensure all seams are fully zipped and the cuffs are tightened. If the issue persists, the jacket may require a wash to remove salt or dirt buildup blocking the breathable pores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance waterproof and windproof protection
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during physical activity
  • Versatile design suitable for both technical sailing and casual wear
  • Durable, professional-grade construction
  • Easy to customize for teams or sailing crews

Cons

  • Tailored fit may run smaller for those preferring baggy layers
  • Not intended for extreme deep-sea survival, more for coastal use
  • Limited ventilation options for extremely high-exertion scenarios

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the HELLY TECH membrane, it is essential to follow proper care instructions. Always close all zippers and hook-and-loop closures before washing. Machine wash on a warm setting using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear, and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability pores of the fabric. The jacket is best air-dried to preserve the water-repellent coating. If the water-repellent performance wanes, consider applying a dedicated DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning. For team branding, use the internal embroidery-friendly zipper to access the shell without compromising the outer waterproof layer.
