FAQs
What is the primary function of the HELLY TECH® Protection?
HELLY TECH® Protection provides a waterproof and breathable barrier, keeping you dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The Vancouver Rain Jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell layered over insulating clothing.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a mild cycle at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on low temperature. Do not dry clean.
What does 'fully sealed seams' mean?
Fully sealed seams mean that all stitching lines on the jacket are covered with tape, preventing water from leaking through the needle holes.
How do I adjust the hood and hem?
The hood typically has drawstrings around the opening and sometimes at the back to adjust the fit. The hem usually features drawcords that can be tightened to create a snugger fit.
What are the hand pockets like?
The hand pockets are zippered, providing secure and dry storage for items like keys, a wallet, or a mobile phone.
Is this jacket suitable for hiking?
Yes, its waterproof and breathable features, along with adjustable elements, make it suitable for hiking in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure all vents or openings are clear. Check if the DWR coating needs refreshing, as a water-logged outer fabric can impede breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions.
Hood adjustment is not holding its position
Check the drawstring toggles to ensure they are properly secured. If the elastic or drawstring is stretched, it may need replacement.
