Helly Hansen Workwear Kensington Knit Fleece Jacket - Grey - XS

Polartec Recycled fleece is an insulating fabric made from post-consumer recycled polyester, reducing environmental impact while providing warmth and durability. The knitted structure gives it a distinct visual and tactile quality.

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed as a mid-layer for warmth and can be worn under a waterproof outer shell for protection against the elements.

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for accurate measurements. The jacket should allow for comfortable movement; if it feels restrictive, especially in the shoulders or arms, consider sizing up.

As a mid-layer, it provides good insulation. For very cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it over a base layer and under a windproof and waterproof outer jacket.

EN 14058 is a European standard for protective clothing against cold environments. Class 1 indicates a specific level of performance regarding thermal insulation and possibly other factors, signifying it's suitable for certain cold conditions.

This specific product listing is for the Grey variant. Other colors might be available for the Kensington Knit Fleece Jacket model, but they would be listed separately.

Flatlock seams are sewn in a way that the seams lie flat against the fabric, minimizing bulk and reducing the risk of chafing or irritation on the skin, which is especially beneficial during physical activity.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and consider the intended layers. The jacket is designed for mobility, but a size too small will hinder movement.

Check that there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can coat the fleece fibers. If it has occurred, try a gentle rinse cycle with a small amount of white vinegar to help restore softness. Always follow the recommended washing temperature.

The flatlock seams are designed to minimize irritation. Ensure the garment is worn with appropriate base layers if needed. Double-check that the jacket is not inside out, as this would expose the seam edges.
