FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is water-resistant due to its softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR treatment, meaning it can handle light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

What is the main material of the jacket?

The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, weighing 290 g/m².

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for moderate temperatures and wind protection. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer it over insulating garments or use it as a mid-layer with a waterproof outer shell.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for accurate measurements. The jacket is designed for a streamlined fit, so consider your preferred layering needs when choosing a size.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are designed for durability, but their effectiveness can diminish over time with excessive washing and wear. Follow care instructions to maximize their lifespan.

What does 'Zip in compatible' mean?

It means this jacket has a zipper system that allows it to be attached and zipped into specific Helly Hansen outer shells, creating a combined, warmer, and more protective layer.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and a little water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a graphite pencil or beeswax) to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure all adjustable cuffs and hem drawcords are loosened. If the size is consistently too small, consider a larger size or a different model.

Fleece inside collar is pilling

This can sometimes occur with friction. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh detergents can help. If severe, consider trimming loose fibers carefully.
