FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Helly Hansen Verglas Hooded Insulator is primarily an insulating layer and is not waterproof. It is designed to be worn under a waterproof outer shell for full weather protection.
What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal as a mid-layer for various outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, ski touring, and casual wear in cool to cold weather.
How should I care for the brushed tricot chin guard?
The brushed tricot chin guard is durable but should be kept clean. Follow the general washing instructions for the jacket. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing on this area.
Can I wear this jacket on its own in light rain?
While the material may offer some resistance to very light moisture, it is not designed for rain. For protection against rain, you should wear a waterproof jacket over it.
What is the purpose of the raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves are designed to provide a wider range of motion in the shoulder and arm area compared to traditional set-in sleeves, enhancing comfort and freedom of movement during physical activity.
Does this jacket have a durable water repellent (DWR) finish?
The product description does not specify a DWR finish. For water resistance, it is recommended to pair it with a DWR-treated or waterproof outer layer.
What material is the main insulation made from?
The product information does not specify the exact insulation material, but it is designed to provide lightweight warmth suitable for layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight
Consider sizing up if a looser fit is preferred, especially if layering with thicker base layers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax if necessary.
Loss of loft or insulation effectiveness
Ensure the jacket is washed and dried according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat, which can damage insulation.
Pilling on the inside lining
This can occur with regular wear. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive contact can minimize this. Do not pull at any pills; carefully snip them if needed.
