FAQs
What level of waterproofing does this jacket offer?
This jacket features a water-resistant DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating and a membrane, providing protection against light rain and showers. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket offers wind resistance and some insulation due to its softshell fabric and fleece collar. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, underneath. It is also zip-in compatible with other Helly Hansen layers.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water (30°C) on a gentle cycle with zippers closed. Do not bleach, dry clean, or use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on low heat if needed.
What does 'zip-in compatible' mean?
It means this jacket has attachment points or a specific design that allows it to be zipped together with compatible inner layers from Helly Hansen, creating a unified system for warmth and protection.
Are the reflective details durable?
Reflective details are designed to enhance visibility. While durable for normal wear, their reflectivity can be affected by excessive abrasion or improper washing. Follow care instructions to maintain their performance.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, with a weight of 290 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not shedding water effectively.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.
Jacket feels less breathable than before.
The fabric may be dirty or clogged. Follow the care instructions for washing. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can block the fabric's pores.
Fit is too loose around the hem.
Adjust the elastic drawcord located inside the hand pocket to tighten the hem and reduce drafts.
