Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Crew 2.0 Waterproof Jacket is a versatile, high-performance outer layer designed for women who demand reliable protection during sailing expeditions or daily urban commutes. Built with proprietary HELLY TECH® Protection, this jacket excels at keeping you dry and wind-protected without sacrificing breathability; however, users should note that the internal polyester lining is optimized for durability rather than extreme thermal insulation, requiring layering in freezing temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend using a technical wash for waterproof gear and avoiding fabric softeners.
Does it have a hood?
The core model design focuses on the collar; please verify your specific sub-model variant for hood inclusion.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Crew 2.0 is a shell jacket. It is windproof and waterproof, but requires thermal mid-layers to be suitable for winter temperatures.
Can I use this for offshore sailing?
It is built for general sailing and coastal activities; for extreme offshore conditions, check our specialized professional gear.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the DWR treatment does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment.
How do I know if the seams are sealed?
The seams are factory-taped during manufacturing to ensure complete protection against water ingress.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading off the fabric surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Feeling damp inside despite no leaks
Check your layering. If you are wearing cotton, it will trap moisture. Switch to moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layers.
Pros and Cons

- Breathable material prevents overheating during active use
- Adjustable hem and cuffs offer a tailored, draft-free fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof performance, wash it on a gentle cycle using technical garment detergent, avoiding harsh bleaches or softeners that can degrade the DWR treatment. It is recommended to tumble dry on low heat periodically to help reactivate the water-repellent coating. The jacket is designed with a standard fit meant to accommodate mid-layers underneath, so size up if you intend to wear a thick down or fleece jacket inside. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to protect the teeth and prevent snagging during the cycle.
