FAQs
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is best suited for wet weather, including rain and light snow. Its Helly Tech® Protection makes it ideal for moderately rainy days, commuting, or light outdoor activities where staying dry is the priority.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a waterproof shell jacket. It is not insulated. You can layer a fleece or sweater underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a mild cycle at 40°C with liquid detergent. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on low heat, iron on low, and do not dry clean.
What does 'Helly Tech® Protection' mean?
Helly Tech® Protection is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable technology developed by Helly Hansen. It ensures you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
Can I use this jacket for hiking?
Yes, the jacket is suitable for hiking, especially in wet or windy conditions. Its waterproof and breathable properties are beneficial, but for very cold or strenuous hikes, consider layering with insulating clothing.
How do I ensure the waterproofness lasts?
Proper care is essential. Follow the washing and drying instructions. Tumble drying on low heat helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. You can also reapply a DWR treatment periodically if needed.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs approximately 550 grams, making it a relatively lightweight option for reliable rain protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the DWR treatment is active by tumble drying on low heat. If performance is still diminished, consider applying a DWR re-proofer suitable for waterproof-breathable fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a wax-based lubricant or silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability or internal moisture. Ensure you are not overheating inside the jacket. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Follow care instructions precisely.
Hood adjustment is loose
Check the drawcord and toggles for proper function. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly and the toggles are engaging to secure the hood.
