FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The primary purpose of the Helly Hansen Workwear Uc-Me Winter Jacket is to provide high visibility and protection from cold weather for professionals working in demanding environments, complying with safety standards like EN ISO 20471 Class 3.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is constructed with a water-repellent treatment, not a fully waterproof membrane. It offers protection against light rain and snow, but is not designed for heavy downpours.

How do I ensure maximum visibility?

Maintain the jacket's cleanliness and ensure the reflective stripes are unobstructed. Follow the care instructions strictly, as improper washing or wear can diminish the reflective properties.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable, offering versatility. It is also designed to be helmet-compatible for added safety and protection.

What are the recommended washing conditions?

Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C max, with similar colors, using liquid detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat.

How many times can this jacket be washed?

The jacket is recommended for a maximum of 20 washes to maintain its integrity and performance characteristics.

What certifications does this jacket meet?

The jacket meets EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 for high visibility, EN 343:2019 Class 3,1 for protection against rain, and EN 342:2017 for protection against cold.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility over time

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, as dirt or improper washing can obscure reflective elements. Tumble drying can help reactivate the water-repellent treatment which also contributes to maintaining appearance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the zipper teeth.

Jacket no longer repels water effectively

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting as per the care instructions. This process helps to reactivate the water-repellent finish on the fabric.

Fit is too loose or too tight

Adjust the elastic drawcord at the hem, accessed through the hand pockets, for a tighter fit. Adjust the cuffs using their closure system. Ensure correct size was selected initially.
