FAQs
What is HELLY TECH PROTECTION?
HELLY TECH PROTECTION is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer. It is designed to keep you dry from the outside (rain, wind) while allowing moisture from the inside (sweat) to escape.
How do I clean the parka?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softener. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.
Can I wear this parka in very cold weather?
The parka itself provides protection against wind and rain. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer additional insulating clothing underneath, such as a fleece or down jacket.
What is the difference between HELLY TECH PROTECTION and other HELLY TECH levels?
HELLY TECH PROTECTION is the entry-level technology, offering essential waterproof, windproof, and breathable performance for everyday and moderate outdoor activities. Higher levels like HELLY TECH PERFORMANCE or HELLY TECH INSULATION offer advanced features for more demanding conditions.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood typically features drawcords or adjustment toggles, often located at the back or sides. Pull these to tighten the hood around your head for a secure fit, ensuring it doesn't obstruct your vision.
What is the purpose of the adjustable cuffs?
The adjustable cuffs, featuring snap buttons, allow you to tighten or loosen the fit around your wrists. This helps to seal out wind and rain, and can improve comfort depending on your activity and the weather.
How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and care. Typically, re-application is needed when water no longer beads up on the surface and starts to soak into the fabric. This might be after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If still stiff, apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Water is penetrating the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still poor, consider re-applying a DWR treatment.
Hood adjustment is loose
Ensure the drawcords or adjustment points are properly tightened. Check for any damage to the drawcords or toggles.
Seams appear to be leaking
Inspect the seams for any visible damage. While typically sealed, significant wear might expose them. For minor issues, ensure the garment is clean. For significant damage, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Helly Hansen Coastal 3.0 Parka requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers and closures are functioning correctly before use.
Compatibility: This parka is designed as standalone outerwear. It can be layered over other garments for added warmth, making it compatible with various base layers and mid-layers depending on the temperature.
Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the HELLY TECH PROTECTION fabric, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent (free of bleach, fabric softener, or stain removers). Use warm water (40°C or 104°F).
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on the fabric.
- Re-applying DWR: Periodically, the DWR treatment may need to be reapplied. This can be done using a spray-on or wash-in DWR product specifically designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
