FAQs
What is HELLY TECH® Performance?
HELLY TECH® Performance is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof yet breathable barrier, designed for demanding outdoor activities.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Refer to the size chart provided by Helly Hansen. Measure your child's chest and height, and compare these measurements to the chart. Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for layering if needed.
Can the hood be fully removed?
Yes, the hood is detachable, offering flexibility based on weather conditions or preference.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C) using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Are the reflective elements durable?
The reflective logos and details are designed for durability. Proper care and avoiding harsh abrasion will help maintain their reflectivity.
What is the purpose of the neon-colored brim?
The neon-colored brim enhances visibility, making it easier to spot the child in foggy, dim, or busy environments.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The jacket offers insulation for comfort in cool to mild conditions. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer additional warm clothing underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. Clean the jacket thoroughly and consider reapplying a DWR product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Child feels cold despite wearing the jacket
This jacket provides water protection and light insulation. For colder weather, layer a warmer fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath.
Hood is not staying securely attached
Check that the hood's attachment points are fully secured according to the jacket's design. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
