FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket features a fleece lining for warmth and is windproof and waterproof, making it suitable for cool to cold weather. For extreme cold, it is best worn as a mid-layer over insulating base layers.
How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
Can I embroider my own logo onto this jacket?
Yes, the jacket has a 'secret' zipper inside that provides easy access for embroidery, making it ideal for customization with crew or team logos.
What does 'Helly Tech® Protection' mean?
Helly Tech® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that makes the garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable, ensuring comfort and protection in various weather conditions.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the outer fabric, typically every few seasons depending on usage and care. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-waterproofing product.
What are the main differences from previous versions of the Crew Midlayer Jacket?
The 2.0 version removes the plastic placard in the back yoke while retaining the hangar loop, based on feedback from professional sailors. The core functionality and iconic look remain the same.
Is this jacket specifically for women?
Yes, this model is designed with a women's fit and is part of the Helly Hansen Women's collection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof; water soaks into the outer fabric.
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a new DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane's pores. Wash using a technical cleaner and reapply DWR if needed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and cool water. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Fleece lining is pilling or shedding.
This is a common characteristic of fleece. Ensure you are washing and drying on low settings. Avoid excessive friction.
