Product Information
Full details
This Helly Hansen Crew Hooded Jacket 2.0 is designed for adults seeking versatile, waterproof, and breathable protection, particularly for sailing and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation and weather resistance, while a potential caveat is its specific design for active use, which might be warmer than desired for casual, non-strenuous wear in mild conditions. Key features include HELLY TECH® Protection, a Polartec® fleece lining, and an adjustable, packable hood.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good insulation with its Polartec® fleece lining and polyester sleeve insulation, making it suitable for cold conditions, especially when layered. For extreme cold, consider additional insulating layers underneath.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be packed into the collar and is not removable.
What is the primary use case for this jacket?
It was originally developed for sailors as a waterproof insulation layer and is ideal for sailing, boating, and other watersports. It also performs well as an insulated, waterproof outer layer for general outdoor activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Helly Hansen sizing chart for men's apparel. The jacket is designed for a regular fit, allowing for layering underneath.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable in cool water (30°C or 40°C) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
What does HELLY TECH® Protection mean?
HELLY TECH® Protection is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that ensures the garment is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, keeping you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.
Are the hand pockets insulated?
Yes, the collar and hand pockets are lined with brushed fleece for added warmth and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading on the fabric surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes. If this doesn't help, a re-application of a DWR spray is recommended.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of salt or debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth. Do not force the zipper.
Jacket feels less breathable
Check if the jacket's internal membrane is blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions using a small amount of liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the HELLY TECH® membrane is not punctured.
Seams appear to be leaking water
Verify that the seams are fully sealed. If damage is visible or water consistently seeps through a seam, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
