Full details

Its key benefit is reliable protection against wind and rain while maintaining comfort.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, the HELLY TECH® Protection fabric and fully sealed seams make it highly waterproof and suitable for heavy rain conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
It is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket or fleece underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment used on the jacket does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
Reapply the DWR treatment when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. This can vary depending on usage and washing frequency, but typically after several washes or significant wear.
What is the primary difference between the Crew 2.0 jacket and a midlayer jacket?
The Crew 2.0 jacket is primarily a waterproof and windproof outer shell. A midlayer jacket, like a fleece, is designed for insulation and is typically worn under a shell.
Can I put patches or embroidery on this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be embroidery friendly, making it suitable for customization.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
Ensure the DWR treatment is still effective. Try reactivating it by tumble drying on low heat. If ineffective, reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable
Check that all vents (if applicable) are open and that you are not wearing excessive insulating layers underneath for the current conditions. Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or specific zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Jacket is no longer windproof
Inspect the seams and closures for any damage. Ensure the cuffs and hem are tightened properly. The primary windproofing comes from the fabric's construction and sealed seams, which are generally durable.
