FAQs
What makes the Helly Tech® Protection special?
Helly Tech® Protection is a proprietary technology that makes the garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It provides a barrier against the elements while allowing moisture vapor to escape from the inside, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
This jacket is designed as an outer shell. While it offers wind and water protection, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating garments underneath.
How do I ensure the jacket remains breathable?
To maintain breathability, follow the care instructions carefully. Wash with mild detergents and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can affect breathability.
Can I machine dry the jacket?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. However, air drying is also effective and can help prolong the life of the garment's technical properties.
What is the purpose of the taffeta lining in the sleeves?
The taffeta lining in the sleeves provides a smooth surface, allowing the jacket to slide on and off easily over other layers of clothing without snagging or bunching up.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for sailing and other water-based activities, as well as general outdoor use where protection from wind and rain is needed, such as hiking, cycling, or city commuting.
How should I wash the jacket to preserve its waterproofness?
Wash on a gentle cycle in warm water (40°C) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and either tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof/windproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean before reapplication. Follow the care instructions for washing to maintain performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a graphite pencil tip) to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Fleece collar feels rough or matted.
Gently brush the fleece with a soft brush to restore its texture. Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents or high heat drying which can damage fleece fibers.
Fit is too loose or too tight.
Adjust the cuffs using the Velcro straps and tighten or loosen the drawcord at the hem to customize the fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart before purchase.
