FAQs
What makes this jacket waterproof and breathable?
The jacket uses Helly Tech® Protection technology, a membrane designed to keep water molecules out while allowing water vapor (sweat) to escape.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed as a protective shell. For very cold weather, layering appropriate warm mid-layers underneath is recommended. The fleece collar and pockets offer some warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with a mild liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme sports?
While durable and protective, it is primarily designed for sailing and general outdoor use. For extreme sports with high abrasion or impact, specialized gear might be more suitable.
What does 'embroidery compatible' mean?
It means the jacket's material and construction are suitable for adding custom embroidery, such as logos or names, without compromising the fabric's performance.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
Reapply when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the jacket's surface, typically after several washes or extended use in wet conditions.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a regular fit, designed to accommodate layers underneath while allowing for comfortable movement.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly using mild detergent and rinsed thoroughly. Reapply a DWR treatment and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the finish.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Fleece collar feels rough after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, as it can affect the fleece texture. A gentle brush can help restore softness.
Sleeves are difficult to slide on/off.
Ensure you are using the correct layer underneath. The taffeta lining is designed for ease of use; if issues persist, check for snags or damage to the lining.

Care Instructions:

- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
