FAQs

What is Helly Tech® Performance technology?

Helly Tech® Performance is Helly Hansen's waterproof and breathable fabric technology designed to protect against the elements.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

Yes, tumble dry on low heat. This can help reactivate the DWR treatment.

What are SOLAS reflectors?

SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) reflectors are highly reflective materials designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

What is DWR?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a treatment applied to the fabric to make water bead up and roll off.

How do I reapply DWR?

Follow the instructions on the DWR product. Generally, you'll spray it onto the clean, dry jacket.

What is Ocean Bound Recycled material?

Ocean Bound Recycled material is sourced within 50km of a coastline or main waterway in regions at risk of plastic pollution.

What if the jacket gets a tear?

For small tears, use a fabric repair patch or seek professional repair services to maintain the jacket's waterproof integrity.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check the DWR treatment; reapply if necessary. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed.

The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions to remove dirt and residue that may be blocking breathability.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Rinse zippers with fresh water and apply a zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no specific 'setup' required for the Helly Hansen Salt Original Sailing Jacket; it's ready to wear. However, following the care instructions is vital for maintaining its performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash the jacket in lukewarm water (40°C), using a mild detergent.
  2. Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat, or hang to dry. If tumble drying, it can help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment.
  4. Re-Waterproofing: If water stops beading on the surface, re-apply a DWR treatment. Follow the product instructions for the DWR treatment.
  5. Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
