Product Information

Full details

The Helly Hansen Ace Rain Jacket is designed for urban commuters and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable barrier against wet weather without sacrificing style. Featuring Helly Tech Performance technology, it offers an excellent balance of waterproof protection and breathability, ensuring you stay dry during sudden downpours. While it excels in daily city use, users should note that at 495 grams, it is a sturdy, structural garment rather than a lightweight packable shell, making it better suited for daily wear than ultralight backpacking.

Does it have a lining?

It features a 2-layer construction that provides internal protection and structure.

Can I wear this in the snow?

While it provides wind and water protection, it is not insulated for extreme cold and is best used as an outer shell in wet conditions.

How should I store the jacket?

Hang it in a cool, dry place on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the jacket's shape.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is fixed but fully adjustable to provide a secure fit during high winds.

The jacket weighs 495.0 grams.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.

Zipper feels stiff or sticky

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and wipe the teeth clean with a damp cloth; a small amount of zipper lubricant can be used if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores.
  2. Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area. If the water-repellency fades, use a tumble dryer on a low setting or iron at a very low temperature to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  3. Compatibility: The fit is true to size for an adult male. It is designed with enough room for a light mid-layer like a fleece or a sweater, making it compatible with varying temperatures throughout the year.
