Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Womens W Sirdal Hooded Insulator Jacket in Amethyst Purple is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight yet warm outer layer for wilderness activities. Its key benefit is the excellent warmth-to-weight ratio provided by recycled ECOLoft™ Air SR insulation, which also resists clumping when wet. A minor caveat is its regular fit, which may not be preferred by those seeking a very snug or performance-oriented cut. This jacket features durable ripstop fabric, a PFC-free water-repellent treatment, and practical pockets.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the ECOLoft™ Air SR insulation?
The ECOLoft™ Air SR insulation offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and, crucially, it does not clump when it gets wet, ensuring continued insulation performance.

No, the jacket features a PFC-free DWR treatment, which is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional PFC-based treatments.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, suitable for light showers. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over it.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C) using a liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach or iron.
What kind of fit does the jacket have?
The jacket features a regular fit, designed to provide comfort and allow for layering underneath.
Are there any internal pockets?
Yes, the jacket includes two interior dump pockets for additional storage.
What material is the outer shell made of?
The outer shell is made of 100% Polyamide in a 30D Ripstop construction for durability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not insulating effectively
Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Synthetic insulation works best when it has loft; avoid compressing it for extended periods. Check that the hem and cuffs are adjusted to seal out drafts.
Water beading is reduced
The PFC-free DWR treatment may need to be reapplied. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for DWR reapplication, typically involving a wash-in or spray-on treatment and heat activation.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can try gently lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Close zippers before washing to prevent damage.
