FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Protection?
Helly Tech® Protection is a technology that makes the garment waterproof, windproof, and breathable. It has a membrane or coating that prevents water molecules from entering while allowing water vapor (sweat) to escape.
What do EN 343 and EN 342 certifications mean?
EN 343 relates to protective clothing against rain, indicating the level of water resistance and breathability. EN 342 specifies requirements for protective clothing systems for protection against cold.
Can I wear this suit in milder weather?
While the suit provides protection, it is heavily insulated for cold conditions. It may be too warm for mild or warm weather, potentially leading to overheating.
How do I ensure the best fit for comfort and protection?
Refer to the sizing chart and consider the garments you will wear underneath. The adjustable waist belt can help customize the fit.
What is the material of the Leknes Suit?
The main fabric is typically 100% Polyamide or Nylon, providing durability and water resistance.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is detachable and designed to be helmet-compatible. It likely includes adjustment features for a secure fit.
How often should I wash the suit?
Wash as needed based on usage and soiling. Follow the care instructions precisely to maintain the fabric's protective properties and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels damp inside
Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed. Check if the garment has been exposed to prolonged, extremely high-exertion activity without adequate ventilation. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric performance.
Water is leaking through seams
Verify that the construction is fully taped. If leakage persists, the taped seams may be damaged and require professional repair or replacement of the garment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
Hood is not fitting correctly over helmet
Adjust the hood fit using any available drawstrings or adjustments. Ensure the helmet is positioned correctly before donning the hood.
