FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Static buildup during dry weather
Lightly mist the garment with water or use an anti-static spray on the inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no technical setup; it is a straightforward pull-on garment. It is highly compatible with other Helly Hansen maritime gear, fitting seamlessly under their standard sailing jackets. To maintain the integrity of the fleece fabric: 1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C or lower. 2. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce breathability. 3. Hang to dry whenever possible, avoiding high-heat tumble drying, which can shrink or damage the synthetic material.
