FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it features Helly Tech Protection technology with sealed seams to provide a fully waterproof barrier.

Can I add custom embroidery to this jacket?

Yes, the jacket includes a hidden interior zipper specifically designed to provide access for embroidery teams.

How should I wash the Crew Midlayer?

Follow the internal care label. Use a gentle technical cleaner and avoid fabric softeners to protect the breathable membrane.

Does it have a hood?

The Crew Midlayer 2.0 focuses on a clean collar design and does not feature an integrated hood.

Is the fit true to size?

It is designed as a mid-layer, so it generally fits true to size for layering over standard shirts and base layers.

What is the primary difference from the original Crew jacket?

The 2.0 version features updated professional feedback, specifically the removal of the plastic placard in the back yoke for a cleaner look while maintaining the durable hangar loop.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric

The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical garment cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.

Moisture buildup inside the jacket

Ensure the garment is not being worn over non-breathable layers. Excess sweat can accumulate if the jacket is being used for high-intensity activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, always follow the care label instructions. Wash using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments rather than standard heavy-duty detergents, which can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they clog the pores of the breathable membrane. When the water-beading effect diminishes, you may need to apply a technical reproofing spray to the exterior fabric. Store the jacket on a hanger using the built-in hangar loop to maintain its shape, and ensure it is completely dry before packing it away for the season.
