Full details

Engineered with Helly Tech Performance technology, it offers a robust barrier against wet weather while maintaining breathability for all-day wear. While its lightweight 495g construction is perfect for layering, users should note that it is primarily optimized for city environments and light-to-moderate trail use rather than extreme mountaineering expeditions.

Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reactivation; tumble dry on low heat or reapply a technical DWR spray.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure the front zipper is fully closed and adjust the cuff toggles; if the activity level is very high, unzip slightly to increase airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The XL size is designed for standard adult layering. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, the design comfortably accommodates most mid-layers.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof DWR coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, set to a low heat cycle to help reactivate the durable water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the jacket compressed in a wet bag for extended periods, as this can lead to moisture buildup.
