FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Protection?
Helly Tech® Protection is a technology that provides a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.
Is this suit suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the suit is EN 342 certified with a Clo value of 2.5, indicating it provides significant thermal insulation suitable for cold environments.
Can I wear a hard hat with the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet compatible, allowing you to wear a standard work helmet underneath for additional head protection.
How should I wash the Leknes Suit?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C), do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.
What does EN 343 3,1 certification mean?
This certification indicates the suit's performance against precipitation (rain and snow). A rating of '3' for water permeability means excellent protection, and '1' for water vapor permeability indicates a good level of breathability.
What material is the suit made of?
The main fabric of the suit is 100% Polyamide.
How do I adjust the fit of the suit?
The suit features a belt in the waist that can be adjusted to provide a more personalized and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels damp inside despite no external rain
This may be due to internal moisture from perspiration. Ensure you are not overheating and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that all zippers and closures are sealed.
Water seems to be penetrating the suit
Verify that all seams are fully taped and that there are no tears or punctures in the fabric. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed and the storm flap is secured.
Hood does not fit comfortably over helmet
Ensure the hood is fully detached and then reattached correctly. Adjust the hood's drawstrings for maximum opening. The helmet compatibility is designed for standard work helmets; very bulky headgear may present challenges.
Suit feels too tight or restrictive
Review the sizing guide and ensure you have selected the correct waist size. Consider if you are wearing bulky underlayers that might be affecting the fit. The suit is designed to allow for some movement, but extreme ranges of motion may be limited.
