Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
- Zip-in Compatibility: Features a zip-in system, allowing it to be integrated with compatible Helly Hansen outer shells for added warmth and protection.
- Layering: Designed to be worn over base layers or mid-layers. For colder weather, consider layering with a fleece or insulated jacket.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your softshell jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with warm water (40°C or 104°F). Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the membrane pores and reduce water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
- Reactivating DWR: To restore the water-repellent finish, you can iron the jacket on a low setting (without steam) after washing and drying, or tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes. For a more robust reapplication, consider using a specialized DWR spray, following the product's instructions.
- Cleaning Zippers: Occasionally clean YKK zippers with a soft brush and water to ensure smooth operation.
