FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is ideal for moderate rain and windy conditions. Its Helly Tech® Protection provides waterproofness and breathability, making it suitable for wet commutes and outdoor activities in typical rainy weather.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
While the jacket itself does not have insulation, its 2-layer construction allows for effective layering. You can wear a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath to adapt it for colder temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash the jacket on a mild temperature setting (40°C) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid dry cleaning.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
PFC-free means that the water-repellent treatment applied to the jacket does not contain perfluorinated compounds, which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. This offers a more sustainable option.
How can I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket features an adjustable hood and an adjustable hem. Use the drawcords or toggles at these points to tighten the fit and better seal out wind and rain.
Are the seams sealed for waterproofing?
Yes, the jacket features fully sealed seams, which is crucial for ensuring that water does not penetrate through the stitching, enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof performance.
What are the pocket features?
The jacket includes zippered hand pockets, providing secure storage for small items and keeping your hands warm.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the seams are intact. For persistent issues, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need reapplication, or seams might require professional sealing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid excessive force.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur if the garment's breathability is overwhelmed by heavy exertion or high humidity. Ensure the hood and hem are adjusted to allow for some ventilation. If possible, remove the jacket briefly to air it out. Check that internal layers are not preventing moisture vapor escape.
