Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Vika Jacket is a versatile, rain-ready outer layer designed for urban dwellers who need reliable protection without sacrificing a clean, classic aesthetic. Featuring HELLY TECH Protection technology, it excels in commuting and everyday city use by providing a windproof, waterproof, and breathable shield against unpredictable weather, though it is primarily optimized for mild-to-moderate rain rather than extreme alpine conditions.

FAQs
Is the Vika jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it uses HELLY TECH Protection technology, which is fully windproof and waterproof.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is removable, allowing you to adapt the jacket to different weather needs.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to protect the waterproof membrane.
Does the jacket provide warmth?
The jacket acts primarily as a protective shell. It is breathable and windproof but does not contain heavy insulation; layer with a sweater or fleece for colder days.
Are the reflectors always visible?
No, the reflectors are foldable. You can tuck them away for a cleaner look or unfold them when you need extra visibility.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water repellency.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Gently clean with a soft brush and consider applying a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Helly Hansen Vika jacket, avoid dry cleaning and do not use bleach. Machine wash the garment on a warm setting using a gentle cycle, preferably with a technical detergent designed for synthetic fabrics. To reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, tumble dry on a low setting or iron the garment at a low temperature according to the care label inside. Always close all YKK zippers before washing to protect the teeth and prevent snagging.
