FAQs
What is HELLY TECH® Protection?
HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane, ensuring you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30-40°C) using liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softeners should not be used as they can clog the pores of the HELLY TECH® membrane and degrade the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, reducing the jacket's performance.
How can I customize the jacket with a logo?
The jacket features a 'hidden' zip inside that provides access for embroidery, allowing for professional customization without compromising the outer waterproof layers.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket includes a fleece lining for warmth, making it suitable for cool and moderately cold conditions. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer additional warm clothing underneath.
How do I reactivate the water-repellent finish?
After washing, you can reactivate the DWR treatment by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting for approximately 20 minutes. Alternatively, specific DWR re-treatment sprays can be applied.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a regular fit, designed for comfort and layering. Refer to the sizing chart for specific measurements to ensure the best fit for your needs.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the DWR treatment is active. Wash the jacket using liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and then tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes. If performance is still degraded, consider using a DWR re-treatment spray.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin wax) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Fleece lining feels damp after wearing.
Ensure the jacket is adequately dried after washing and before storage. Check that the outer fabric's DWR is functional, as this helps prevent water absorption that can transfer to the lining.
Loose threads or minor seam separation.
Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. For minor seam separation, a professional seamstress can often repair it without compromising the jacket's waterproof integrity.
